ONE PLANET

One Planet Foundation promotes sustainability. We are a not-for-profit organisation of volunteers and have no paid staff. People and companies who want to join our projects donate their own time, money and materials and get a stake in the project if it goes to market. Sometimes we receive a subsidy for a specific project, then we hire in people to do the work for us. We pioneer new initiatives without taking big risks ourselves. We stay small and keep internal costs very low. Since 2006 we have run over 74 projects big and small and done much to encourage sustainability. Click Projects!

MISSION

To promote low-carbon living and work for a sustainable future for our children.
