Mission & Vision

MyEarth exists to turn concern into action — connecting everyday people to the causes, communities, and tools that protect the natural world.

Our mission

To empower people to engage in their communities, through small actions that compound into real change.

Our vision

To bridge the gap between knowledge and action. To honor those that came before us by keeping the conservation banner alive and moving forward. To inspire change in our communities through our collective efforts, and foster an environment of collaboration.

Hall of Heroes

These are the individuals and families whose lives, work, and voices have shaped the way humanity understands and protects the natural world. Their courage reminds us that one person — or one family — can change everything.

No generative AI

MyEarth does not use generative AI to provide news, information, or resources — or for any content on this page.

Our pledgeEvery word, link, and recommendation on MyEarth is gathered and curated by people. We do not use AI to write, summarize, rank, or generate any of the content you see here.
How it actually works:
  • News comes directly from public RSS feeds (NPR, KQED) and environmental organizations (Earthjustice, Sierra Club, NRDC, and others). Articles are sorted into "hope" or "action" using simple keyword matching — no AI.
  • Petitions, resources, and Author's Picks are hand-selected and linked straight to their original source.
  • Senator letters and call scripts are built from fixed templates and the details you enter — nothing is generated by a model.
  • Hall of Heroes nominations are screened with a keyword filter only.
