Hummingbird Economic Model

The Hummingbird Economic Model is based on a core premise: Life-Honoring

We as Hummingbird Women are committed, as far as humanly possible, to “no externalized cost” on any goods we bring to the market-place. We are emerging from an era where the price for a garment has been at the cost of health & well-being of growers & pickers and mill workers. In addition, fiber production literally costing the Earth…, the Water, The Air; conventional cotton ranks as one of THE most toxic mono-crops on the planet.

All this to say; that we do not deal in ‘bargain-basement’ T-shirts or bottom-dollar anything(!) and the prices we pay do of course reflect that.

Pesticide residues run-off into our waterways. That is unacceptable Now and for our legacy. That is why the Hummingbird Economic Model means business.  In the words of the Water Institute {‘Basins of Relations’}, we are acting primarily to: “ensure that we and all species enjoy pure and ample water for generations to come.”

Above all, we recognize this abiding truth: “The water cycle and the life cycle are one.” Cousteau

Supporter donations always gladly accepted: money is no obstacle..
AND; $100 goes a long way!

Hummingbird Women know how to get things done. The money comes, sometimes in breathtaking ways. A goodly portion of our funds are generated through our on-going hummingbird design/production. As well; we have had the breathtaking delight of donors sweep in like angels for both over-arching and specific purposes.

Just as our hummingbird; flying every which way including backwards and sideways, seems to defy physics, so do we apprentices grow evermore deft & adept at employing levity, most especially where the gravity of the circumstances would weigh too heavily upon us!

Hummingbird Economic Indicators then are  inextricably linked to quality of life barometers:

Take the Bioneers edict; “It’s all Alive…It’s All Connected,..It’s All Intelligent…It’s All Relatives“, and combine it with the original Bhutanese concept of ‘Gross National Happiness’ - GNH (which four pillars are  sustainable development, cultural integrity, ecosystem conservation, and good governance), extrapolated out to Planet-Wide…

And there you have Hummingbird Economics in a nutshell!
