Information is POWER!



PASSION for the PLANET aims to be a mainstream global champion of ethical living.

Ethical living means the individual choosing the best options relevant to their circumstances.

PASSION for the PLANET’s mission is to provide the information necessary to make those choices, and to deliver that information in an attractive, inspiring, intriguing and entertaining package.

PASSION for the PLANET is built on two beliefs …

* health & environment is the new rock &roll
* man doesn’t live by locally sourced, ethically produced, organic bread alone,
we still need the rock & roll


There's no preaching, no chanting, no tips on knitting your own muesli.


PASSION for the PLANET RADIO is an entertaining mix of music and speech.

PASSION for the PLANET TV features short films by top independent film makers.

Getting relationships wrong hurts.

And when it’s our relationship with the world we live in it hurts more than just us.

Everything we do affects our world. Smile, don’t smile. Praise, criticise. Vote, stay at home. Buy fair trade, buy the cheapest. Think profit, think it through.

Personal or planet-wide, decisions and actions have consequences.

For example… too many sheep means higher insurance premiums, buying a fur coat costs you more than the price on the ticket, and driving your car increases the cost of bread.

First there was Earth and then there was Man. And Man reaped everything he could from our Earth but failed to "give back". And then there came a time of reckoning. And Man began to "give back"... Everything started to Change..... The World is changing. People are changing. And business has changed... Every business you find in our ethical directory is a giving business....giving back to Our Planet by working in the Spirit of Harmony with Earth. ...Every member on Pledging for Change is here because they believe in Giving Back in the Spirit of Harmony with Our Planet



Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can. -- John Wesley, "Letters of John Wesley"

Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centres of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. -- Robert F. Kennedy
