Benches for Change
What if every bench could tell a story — of waste saved from landfills, communities brought together, and a planet renewed all together?
Benches for Change is GAIA’s circular-economy initiative that transforms plastic waste into beautiful, long-lasting benches placed across schools, parks, and public spaces.
Our Regenerative: Mission Prakriti
At the heart of GAIA lies Project Prakriti — our large-scale regenerative social forestry mission. Through Prakriti, we plant hope — one tree, one forest, one community at a time. The project not only combats deforestation and climate change, but also revitalizes soil, restores biodiversity, and engages local communities in protecting and nurturing their environment.
Every sapling planted represents our commitment to move beyond sustainability — toward regeneration: giving back more than we take.
