To My Mayan Friends
A Prosperous 2013 – ‘Dawning of a New Era’
We all know the importance of the 5,240-year ending of the Maya calendar on December 21, 2012. Doomsayers have been preaching that it is the ‘end of time’. As of today, December 22, I am sure many of these same doomsayers are now saying it is only the beginning of the ‘end of time’…they better get over it! The Maya believes December 22, 2012 is really the ‘dawning of a new era’ and 2013 is the start of humankind’s pursuit for a better existence for all, with the reversal of rural poverty and environmental degradation in the forefront.
New Leaf World Markets, Inc. believes people are beginning to understand the dire consequences of continuing deleterious agricultural practices around the world. There is now a renewed emphasis throughout the world on organic methods and green technology. Consumers seek out products produced by these new methods. The many benefits of thriving ecosystems that support sustainable agrarian economies are more fully understood. The combination of these trends has convinced New Leaf that it is possible to bring positive and lasting change to these areas while significantly raising the standard of living to eliminate poverty.
There are many worthy efforts that have already begun around the world to help people living in these areas. Most are on a very small scale and their progress is slow. NEW LEAF will identify the most promising efforts and assist them. NEW LEAF can provide realistic assessments, sound planning and business acumen. Fledgling businesses will be given the chance to create optimized expansion plans designed to multiply their impact on the local economies. NEW LEAF will bring those plans to fruition by infusing debt free capital and gaining access to wider markets. This will be done by utilizing our network community of socially conscious members. Network members will be afforded the opportunity to learn about selected businesses and their efforts to improve life in their regions. Interested members can elect to financially support the business by making micro-contributions to NEW LEAF’s incubation fund for that business. Products from that business will be made directly available to network members. Members can choose to support these efforts by contributing capital and purchasing products.
NEW LEAF envisions a series of independent indigenous businesses, scattered around the world, that are united through NEW LEAF’s unique global community with an ever growing group of individuals interested in supporting the businesses’ efforts to lift their regions out of economic and environmental poverty. This is a maintainable model that is not reliant on a few individuals. The network, with New Leaf’s Founding Corporate Sponsors, the New Leaf Seed Foundation, and academia partners, is capable of supporting many enterprises because it can grow and expand as interest and demand grow.
We are honored to share this revolutionary experience with the world and enter into the “dawning of a new era” with the hope that our world will become a better place for generations to come. Please check back next week to learn what we have in store for 2013!
