Problem

2020, despite all the negative aspects, has given us a “second chance”. A chance to take a critical look at our existing systems, and evaluate their sustainability. As the world works towards returning to a more “normal” pace, large scale issues such as climate change, resource constraints, wealth disparity, discrimination and inequality still continue to loom over us. The question is, will we take the opportunity we’ve been given and produce impactful changes to better our world, or will we slide back to our old habits. Arbor is the answer.
