Have you ever felt overwhelmed or frustrated by the abuse our planet suffers on a daily basis??
You’re not alone…
Save Our Planet’s vision is to build a community platform that drives a more sustainable world.
Save Our Planet connects sustainability experts, influencers and engaged people, and offers a space to share knowledge and advice for making improvements to your home, work and the world we live in.
Our goal is to inspire any kind of positive change, little or large. Doing something is better than doing nothing.
More than a third of global greenhouse gas emissions can be directly linked to just 20 companies. Our impact as consumers can feel limited. But, together we can create real change by acting as a community, altering our buying habits and influencing businesses and governments. We can decide where to spend our money (in the home), improve our own companies’ operations (at work), lobby governments and turn up to vote for green circular agendas (out in the world).
Join us in our mission to spread awareness that all actions contribute to a tangible change. We can all do something, no matter how small we might feel.
Save Our Planet’s team of journalists is looking for positive change stories for the first version of the platform. Sign up for an account, so you can comment, like and share content.
Our second version will give sustainability pros the ability to become a verified Save Our Planet Expert. As an SOP Expert you can post your own articles.
All users will be able to gather Save Our Planet points to unlock levels and collect badges.
Get inspired and join our mission. Together, we can save our planet.
How do I become an SOP Expert and publish my own articles on Save Our Planet?
First, sign up for an account. If you are interested in becoming an SOP Expert, please send a sample article according to the guidelines (see below) and why you are qualified to [email protected]. After publishing three articles, you will be an official SOP Expert. On version two of our platform (coming soon!), you will be able to publish your own content.

No fake news here.

What are we looking for in an article?
We are looking for solutions to the problems facing our planet, grounded in scientific research, creativity, and ethical, practical entrepreneurialism. SOP Experts might be academics or professionals working for sustainable businesses. We want to hear your big ideas, small innovations, and anything in between that helps to save our planet.
