VOICE / ISSUE 1 / 22422 / SYMMETRY
Welcome to the first edition of Voice for Nature’s online magazine, VOICE!
As natural storytellers, VFN wants to bring you something you can look forward to and enjoy reading without any goal other than sharing knowledge, hopes and updates on our Nature projects.
They’ll be using this format to occasionally provide content aligned to their goal of giving Nature a voice. Issues will be created dependent on interesting events and topics rather than a time schedule.
Earth Day falls on 22.4.22 this year which resonated with us as a reflection of symmetry in Nature, and how we are being called upon to be kinder to the environment and each other.

It’s time for a new narrative.
One that shows us what’s possible.
That articulates how we thrive not just survive.
We need to harness our creativity.
It’s not just our intelligence that makes us creative,
it’s our passion,
our imagination,
our empathy,
our innovation.
It’s our ability to harmonize the relationship with technology, Nature, and us.
We have the playbook. We just need to use it.
It’s time to give Nature a voice.
To mark Earth Day, we are delighted to announce a long-term partnership with The Lost Explorer Mezcal x Voice For Nature Foundation to advance a more sustainable and socially conscious mezcal industry, starting in our own backyard. We have begun their endeavor by consulting with expert advisors in creating an open-source exchange of sustainability best practices, which we hope will inspire further conversations and action within all industries that touch mezcal production. As we embark, we look forward to sharing this journey with you. We intend to be both the student and teacher as we do our part to work toward a more environmentally sound world. #celebratetheearth
