The environmental challenges we're facing today are alarming on the one hand, but on the other hand create the greatest opportunity in our history for collaboration. It is the first time ever that the entire planet is faced with such a big problem that it is relevant to all human beings. We know that our planet is heading in a bad direction and as of now things are getting worst so unless we do something to stop it, the future doesn't seem good. Our planet is already sick and getting sicker so we need to act fast to cure it. Whether we are each aware of it or not, this is a situation that already affects each of us and will only affect us more and more.

The only way we can reverse our current direction is if we will all join forces in the fight to save the planet. This is a historic first time ever opportunity for all of us to join forces towards a common goal. This process will begin for each of us first by caring and realizing that we care enough to own the problem. We should not think, "Someone else will care enough or someone else will take care of the solution, this whole thing is none of my business. We shouldn't think, "It's their problem, or their planet or his planet." When you think MyPlanet you will care more, because it is your planet. If we each think MyPlanet and each care about his or her planet, that will be the basis of our cooperation as a society working together with each other to cure our planet. We can only dream about how great our planet will be when we manage to cure it and make it healthy again.

The big question we are all asking today is, Is that possible? Do we have the power to actually stop the current environmental decline and turn our planet around into an environmental heaven? And if yes, how long would it take until planet earth is healthy again? No one knows the answers to these questions, but one thing is sure. The faster we act the better our chances are to succeed. So let's begin acting today.

This web site allows you to take the first step towards acting. You can sign up as a MyPlanet partner member. Once you sign up you can set up your profile. This will give you permission to begin acting on the site. You can post reviews, get reviews posted about you, add content, create a project and comment about projects. Soon we will be allowing additional actions on the site.

Taking action is the key to making fast progress. Although our governments are powerful in many ways, in some cases they are not equipped and are not knowledgable enough about making the necessary progress. Such as for example this recent article http://green.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/08/13/energy-funds-went-unspent-u-s-auditor-says/ showing that only 8.4% of the billions of dollars from the stimulus package allocated towards improving energy efficieny through out the US have been spent.

The resources are there. All the money, talent, and all other required resources are there. There's nothing more needed than a way to turn the depressed economy world wide around and at the same time save the planet by learning how to go green and live in harmony with the planet as well as each other.

By working together and managing the resources available to man kind today through the power of technology, the internet and specifically the current phase in the development of the internet that is allowing more interaction between human beings as a global online community we can do what's necessary to solve our various problems by providing the correct solutions.
