What is Prout?

The Progressive Utilization Theory (Prout) envisions a society where resources are shared equitably, the environment is protected and a high quality of life is guaranteed for everyone.

Recent Prout Perspectives

Since the publication of Schumacher’s green classic Small is Beautiful in 1973, the world has not become any more sustainable or greener. Despite the popularity of everything green, the corporations are ahead of the game and finding new loopholes to pollute and to pay less tax to maximize profit.

By Nina Shapiro As Proutists, we must embrace humanitarian approaches to social justice for all beings, to protect and defend the innocent and the vulnerable, and to focus on our commonality rather than our differences. We are one human family and we must embrace this wholeheartedly in order to survive, to move together into a preferred future and to evolve as a species.

By Rebekah Moan One of the aspects that makes Prout so unique and revolutionary is that it’s an entire systems-change phenomenon. It’s a theory, a practice, a movement, a guide for living that focuses on creating a healthy, harmonious society that values all beings. One tangible way to do that is to create a space where people are in harmony with themselves. That’s exactly what sisters Priyanka and Chirasmita Kompella have accomplished with their business Zero Proofed.
