    Stichting Marlin Yard staat voor verduurzaming en het waarborgen van een ecologisch leefstijl. Wij assisteren graag bij het proces in het verkleinen van de “ecologische voetafdruk”. Ons missie is het stimuleren en mensen leren zelfredzaamheid in het dagelijkse leven toe te passen. Daarom onze 4 x R motto “Reuse, Reduce, Recyle & Repurpose” vrij vertaald hergebruik – verminder – en geef “iets” een andere doelstelling. We doen dit door middel van het helpen bouwen en mensen te leren bouwen van ecologisch verantwoorde woningen die orkaan-, aardbeving- en vuur bestendig zijn. En door het opzetten van efficiënte en effectieve landbouwactiviteiten zijn wij van mening een duurzaam levensstijl en het circulair ondernemen te kunnen stimuleren en te implementeren zodat er winstdeling mogelijkheden (crowd profit sharing) gecreëerd worden bij gemeenschappen onderling.
