PlanetEarth.com envisions a world in which every human being is a steward of our planet; where population and resource use are balanced and sustainable;
where our understanding of the intimate relationship we share with the Earth influences every choice we make.
Toward that end, PlanetEarth.com has three goals:
1) to deliver a positive, unifying vision of what sustainable living on Earth looks like and describe ways to achieve it;
2) to report on humankind’s progress toward creating a sustainable life on Earth; and
3) to connect and engage individuals who strive to honor, protect and nurture humankind's symbiotic relationship with the Earth.
A sustainable community is one that is socially, environmentally and economically thriving and resilient. Proponents of sustainable living embrace a long-term perspective, one that plans for the future and chooses integrated solutions over fragmented approaches in order to achieve its goals. As a result, a sustainable community knows how to manage its human, natural and financial resources to meet its current needs while ensuring that adequate resources are available for future generations.1
PlanetEarth.com has been created to promote sustainable living at the individual and community levels and help identify, unify and empower the global sustainable living movement. This is Version 2 of the website. It is designed to explain PlanetEarth.com's vision, mission and goals and demonstrate its concept.
Future upgrades to PlanetEarth.com will include the Sustainable Living Dashboard, GOOD News! blog, Solar Financing COIN (Collaborative Innovation Network), educational curriculum, interactive 3D maps, video, photo and audio galleries, virtual gaming experiences, social and professional networks, Kids4PlanetEarth.com and more!
