Discover Our Work

We envision an increasingly healthy world energized by sustainability changemakers who simultaneously and collaboratively change the world by dynamically imagining, designing, building, and living a way of life they love.

The purpose of the Entrepreneurship-Innovation-Changemaker’s Story Projects (a.k.a. The ESP) is to inspire and support the journeys of Sustainability Entrepreneurs, Innovators and Changemakers (a.k.a EICs) through the power of Storytelling.

Specifically, our storytelling mission is to inspire more sustainable entrepreneurship, innovation and changemaking to change the world for the better.

We are a community of curious explorers who seek out, catch, weave and release lesser-known human-centered stories of sustainability-based EICs as they individually, collaboratively, and dynamically impact themselves and the world around them.

Join us as we gather and share stories of sustainability entrepreneurs, innovators, and changemakers - from Western Washington University to the world and back.
