Earth Protection

"Environmental" has become trite, and does not convey the profound, urgent, and necessary changes in the way our species perceives and relates to our fellow species on, and the the physical processes of, our Earth. We are especially interested in accelerating humanity's transition to a sustainable, equitable, benign, global energy system based entirely upon renewable (driven by radiant energy from our local star, the Sun) energy sources. Our earliest, most rewarding, investments in this direction will be energy conservation and efficiency. We also wish to help people plan their family size, so that fewer of our grandchildren will be competing with each other, and with other species for resources. We assist science education, so that we will better understand who and what and where we humans are, and to better understand Earth and our options for cooperation within its context and limits. Thus, we intend to invest wisely in Earth Protection, with both Foundation funds and with our personal involvement.
