Convened by Conservation International, Team Earth will unite businesses, non-profit organizations, scientists, educators, individuals and children in an international collective action campaign to address the most pressing environmental issues facing humanity.
Guided by the wisdom of a blue-ribbon panel of the worlds leading scientists, Team Earth is designed to harness the power of social networking and global outreach to incite action and create momentum around efforts to address the great challenges of our time. Team Earths initial collective action campaigns will focus on saving forests as a tool to slow climate change. Watch for further rallying cries around energy use, fresh water, and the way we consume.
Team Earths founding partners include Dell, Harrah's, SC Johnson, Starbucks and Wrigley. Other corporate partners include Marriott International and PepsiCo China. Along with Conservation International, other non-profit partners include Rocky Mountain Institute and Princes Rainforest Project. Team Earths global online education partner, ePals, reaches 2.5 million registered users and millions of students in over 200 countries and territories.
Our first challenge of saving forests is just the beginning for Team Earth. The momentum builds towards November 2009 as we take our efforts to the next level.
