As we thought about what resourcient living meant to us, we created four subgroupings - prescience (a happier, more thoughtful and hopeful mindset), reslience (a healthier and fitter body built to last), resourcefulness (a means by which to gather more learning, build better lifestyles and help ourselves grow), and efficiency (shared ways of making our lives, the lives of others and that of our planet more sustainable)
