SEED #Bermuda – Social Economic Environmental Sustainability
SEED aspires to see a genuinely inclusive Bermuda, a Bermuda which is affordable for everyone, where everyone has access to quality education and employment and where the island’s current economic crisis, financial hardship and pervasive poverty are but a distant memory. We wish to create vibrant, healthy, well-connected communities across the island, communities of island residents who are engaged socially, economically, culturally and intellectually, and where our people enjoy adequate freedoms to live self-directed lives in pursuit of their highest ambitions.

The figures in this story should shock any right-thinking man, woman or child – unfortunately they won’t.
Bermuda’s overall mentality is not geared towards the environment. It is a throw-away society where the first thought is “to get rid of” rather than “to mend” …

#Bermuda – Off The Beaten Path #HiddenGems @petersgreenberg
Bermuda is an archipelago of more than 120 small islands, which have some of the country’s richest national resources. There’s Nonsuch Island, the whole of which is a wildlife sanctuary. There, you’ll find Bermuda’s national emblem and one of the most endangered birds in the world.
Back on the mainland, there are some less traditional modes of transportation. Renting a car may only be for residents, but you can hit the road on two wheels. Watch Peter Greenberg as he heads off the beaten path in this edition of Hidden Gems: Bermuda. For more information, please visit
