History of 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.
Our Name
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.
