#EVERY DAY COUNTS
Every year, the date of “Earth Overshoot Day” arrives sooner… too soon.
This is a symbolic date that marks the day when mankind has consumed more resources than our ecosystems can produce. date of the overshoot could become the day for surpassing oneself, supporting a transformation involving every citizen on earth.
Planethon-365 was created because daily actions are essential and #everydaycounts for the preservation of resources and ecosystems, for our health, for a different kind of nutrition, for a viable climate trajectory and for the resilience of our lands.
Planethon-365 celebrates men and women, all over the world, who bear and implement specific projects and solutions that have a social and environmental impact on people and the earth. Planethon-365 highlights, the benefits of these actions for communities and nature, and encourages people to multiply such initiatives and to ensure more and more people commit to these actions.
Planethon-365 is creating an annual media event inspired by the success of the mobilization seen in the Telethon. Planethon-365 defends a universal cause: the urgency of preserving the planet’s resources to protect humans and all living things.
Based on a selection of projects that will benefit from the donations collected, Planethon offers a world tour of pictures and testimonies: change-makers, project managers and celebrities share their commitment: men women and children.
Planethon-365 will use the most demanding ethical methodology to guarantee complete transparency in the collection and use of funding. Planéthon-365 calls upon scientific counsel and an ethics committee comprised of experts, but also leaves plenty of scope for public participation.
