About the Stable Planet Alliance
The Stable Planet Alliance is a coalition of individuals and organizations who are committed to inspiring public will to change our ecologically destructive system.
Their aim is to create a compassionate, just, ecologically sustainable world, rather than continuing on our present course of ecological self-destruction and possibly nuclear war.
The Stable Planet Alliance is organized to be the nucleus for a new kind of social change movement, bigger than all of us.
At the heart of it is their intention to inspire public will to change our destructive system sufficiently that we operate within the Earth’s capacity to support us, and the prospect of nuclear war becomes a thing of the past.
No group has the reach to affect public consciousness sufficiently on its own. It will take an alignment of many groups.
