Gaiam
Founded in Boulder, Colorado in 1988, Gaiam is a provider of
information, goods and services to customers who value the
environment, a sustainable economy, healthy lifestyles,
alternative healthcare and personal development.
Gaiam (pronounced "guy-um"), is a
fusion of the words "Gaia" and "I am" Gaia, mother Earth, was
honored on the Isle of Crete in ancient Greece 5,000 years ago
by the Minoan civilization. This civilization valued education,
art, science, recreation, and the environment and believed that
the Earth was directly connected to its existence and daily
life. The concept of Gaia stems from the ancient philosophy that
the Earth is a living entity. At Gaiam, we believe that all of
the Earth's living matter, air, oceans and land form an
interconnected system that can be seen as a single entity. The
word Gaiam represents planetary awareness, preservation and
support of the interconnectivity of all living things. By
nurturing, protecting and respecting our planet, its natural
resources and its inhabitants, we enrich our own lives and those
of future generations.
