About One at a Time

The One at a Time Foundation is an independent, entrepreneurial, not for profit organisation dedicated to fostering change to reduce and halt global warming.

Amanda Little was inspired to start One at a Time Foundation after seeing Ray Anderson, Chairman and Founder of Interface Inc, and now patron of One at a Time speak at a CSR summit saying, "If we find in a future decade that we have destroyed the biosphere, it would have happened insidiously, one silted or polluted stream at a time, one dying coral reef at a time..." One at a Time Foundation aims to show businesses, individuals and communities how they can reduce their ecological footprint, and reverse damage to the environment - one easy step at a time.
