POET, we see abundance where others see scarcity, and we understand that the needs of our society and a healthy environment are not mutually exclusive. By combining human ingenuity with nature’s miracle of growth, we can strike a balance. Sustainably. We are improving methods of gathering and renewing resources. We are refining the promise of human progress. We are finding new ways to make the world cleaner, safer, and better.
