What is Your EcoType?

We disagree. That’s good!
Our differing EcoTypes can be a source of creative solutions.

Discover Your EcoType

Take the EcoTypes Survey

The EcoTypes survey is free and anonymous, and you’ll immediately receive a report summarizing your environmental worldview, with links to learning resources.

EcoTypes helps us navigate a divided world. Like the image above, we approach environmental issues in contrasting ways. How might our differences be a source of creativity vs. conflict?

Learn about three worldview components: Axes, themes, & EcoTypes

Axes

Axes are the fundamental building blocks of EcoTypes. Examples of the twelve axes include Aesthetics, Ecosystems, Nature, Science, Spirituality, and Time. Some may strike you as surprising!…but all are relevant to how we approach environmental issues.

Themes

Themes are statistical combinations of axes that address a common big question and embody a key tension in how we approach environmental issues. The three themes are nonhuman/human Place, old/new Knowledge, and small/big Action.

EcoTypes

EcoTypes are patterns among thousands of people who completed the survey. Your EcoType is your environmental worldview. It may be very different from other EcoTypes! This is a good thing. Our differences can foster creative solutions, not just environmental conflict.
