Mission Statement
Planet Voters empowers individuals to make a tangible difference in the fight against climate change without spending extra money. By partnering with Amazon and Peets, we enable our supporters to shop as usual while directing the majority of those net profits to the climate causes. Our platform allows users to use their wallets to support a sustainable future at no added cost to them.
As an information hub and media organization, we underscore the immediate dangers of climate change.
Our Inspiration
Patagonia
The mission of PlanetVoters.com was also inspired by Yvon Chouinard, who founded Patagonia 52 years ago. The 83-year-old entrepreneur and his family have given away their entire $3 billion company to a special trust and a foundation created to combat climate change and protect nature. Chouinard always said he didn’t especially like being a billionaire. Now he no longer is one.

PlanetVoters.Com Recognizes The Urgency Of The Moment In Responding To The Global Climate Crisis.
PlanetVoters.com (PV) was created to ensure that the United States plays a critical role in securing a sustainable planetary future. Our goal is to build a national coalition of climate voters dedicated to advancing both national and international environmental climate goals.
The Need For Planet Voters Is Existential
Human-made climate change has become an existential threat to life on Earth as we have known it. As UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres put it:
“If we continue on our current path, we will face the collapse of everything that gives us security: food production, access to fresh water, habitable ambient temperature, and ocean food chains… Climate change can only be dealt with by unparalleled levels of global cooperation.”
The world has been discussing lowering CO2 emissions below 2C (3.6F) since the 2015 Paris Agreement. At that time, world governments agreed that a 1.5C (2.7F) increase in global temperatures would create a “new normal,” an irreversible weather tipping point from which we could “not come back.” After the failures of the world climate conferences (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change/IPCC/aka COP) to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, it has become clear that world governments, without leadership, are not going to meet this climate goal.
This is no longer a hypothetical future. 2023 was the hottest year on record globally. The first three weeks of July were the hottest three-week period ever. During those three weeks, the Earth temporarily exceeded the 1.5C (2.7F) “tipping point.”
Without Political Will The U.S. Can Not Lead On Climate
PlanetVoters is working to create a new era of political will to halt environmental climate destruction, advance the transition to a renewable energy economy, and establish a political majority capable of enacting climate legislation committed to a sustainable future. By doing this, the U.S. can provide global leadership capable of capping global warming at 1.5°C (2°F).
What We Want To Achieve
To build a national coalition of Planet Voters dedicated to advancing national and international environmental climate goals. Using social media, traditional media, influencers, networking, advertising, and word of mouth, Planet Voters will assist this coalition in electing environmental legislators committed to a new era of sustainable climate legislation.
Philosophy Behind Planet Voters
We are working to create a new era of political will and commitment to stop climate and environmental destruction and advance the transition to a renewable energy economy by electing legislators and supporting legislation committed to stopping global warming.
Our work is underpinned by the belief that the ecological and economic health of our planet are interconnected and dependent on our collective commitment to preserving it.
In this regard, we embrace the concept of Nature’s rights. This is the underlying spiritual reverence towards the natural world held by most indigenous cultures, calling for us to become stewards of the Earth’s environment. Our philosophy is to work alongside First Nations and environmental organizations committed to ensuring Nature’s ability to sustain life as we have known it.
The mission of PlanetVoters.com is to champion a sustainable planetary future by building a national coalition of one issue-oriented, Planet Voters dedicated to advancing national and international environmental climate goals. Each of us Planet Voters will be asked to assist in networking and scaling until we reach our coalition’s goal of 139 million Planet Voters. One million of us for each of the 139 climate deniers in Congress. Together we will un-elect climate deniers from Congress.
Visitors are encouraged when doing their normal online shopping to visit PlanetVoters.com first and use our Amazon and Walmart click-through links provided. Planet Voter then earns a commission at no additional cost to the shopper. 100% of Planet Voters net profits from now to the day after the 2024 elections will go to electing climate-responsible representatives in Congress and elsewhere. We will never ask for money or donations from our coalition members.
Using social media, traditional media, influencers, networking, advertising, and word of mouth, we will build and scale a large, national climate-oriented coalition specifically tasked with voting in candidates running against climate deniers from both parties. Ushering in environmental legislators committed to a new era of sustainable legislation and urgently needed climate action.
By educating, empowering, and incentivizing voters, our primary goal is to create the political will to meet or exceed the international commitments to a 1.5-degree global climate cap agreed to at the Paris Climate Accords. Our strategic for-profit monetizing strategies will counter opposition campaign spending enabled by Citizens United. Political donations are currently funneled to climate deniers through dark money think tanks supported by disinformation campaigns. We envision a new era of political will and commitment to stop climate and environmental destruction and advance the transition to renewable energy mandated by a strong, collective majority wielding the financial and electoral means to produce legislators and legislation committed to a sustainable future.
Together, with one voice, we will elect responsible leaders who will adhere to the will of the 70% of the population who want aggressive government action on the climate crisis. Legislators, advocates for sound policy, rigorous enforcement, and transparent accountability. Our work is underpinned by the belief that the ecological and economic health of our planet are connected and depend on our collective commitment to preserving it.
In addition, we embrace the concept of nature’s rights. The underlying spiritual reverence towards the natural world held by most indigenous cultures obligates us to become responsible stewards. To take the utmost care to safeguard and preserve all co-inhabiting species, ensuring their survival in the face of climate-induced threats. In summary, we will work alongside of existing environmental groups and newly formed environmental movements, particularly those of indigenous peoples trying to protect the natural world and its inhabitants. (As an example please see: https://pachamama.org/)
Together, through the Planet Voters National Environmental Coalition, utilizing strategic fundraising and social media networking, we aim to create a new political will to drive real and lasting progress toward a more sustainable, resilient, and equitable future for all.
We envision a world where bold conscious environmental action becomes the norm, and where the international political will to protect our planet becomes an unwavering force for positive change.
“Together We Create A Congress That Cares About The Climate Crisis”
In a courtroom they speak.
With hope in their eyes, and courage so pure.
They fight for a world that’s safe and secure.
Their dreams on the docket, like stars in the night.
Hope for a future that’s just and is bright.
A planet’s crisis confronted, with words and the pen.
Our young fight for their future, one without end.
The truth when it’s pure turns darkness to light
As we pass on their planet, we join in their fight
because now it’s their turn,
and justice – their right.
