Acts of Planetary Service
Acts of Planetary Service are voluntary, intentional actions taken to care for, restore, and sustain the Earth and its ecosystems. These actions are not done for profit, but from a place of care, responsibility, and solidarity with both people and planet.
An action may be considered an Act of Planetary Service when it is:
Sustainable
It supports long-term ecological balance, contributes to at least one UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), and reduces pressure on at least one planetary boundary without causing harm to others.
Intentional
It is carried out with purpose, awareness, and ecological responsibility, rooted in intrinsic motivation.
Regenerative
It aims to leave ecosystems, communities, or relationships healthier than before, creating a net-positive impact.
Community-rooted
It arises from shared responsibility, inclusive participation, and respect for both human and more-than-human life.
“I have the following dream. For hundreds of years, maybe longer, the 18-year-olds were drafted and then forced to serve in the military: Military service. How would that be if we could replace that with Planetary Service – on a voluntary basis”
