Help us, help you
What is winning? Winning is when we all benefit, and that is achieved by efficiently, urgently and responsibly allocating the resources we have to the right projects and organizations. How come we don’t strive to collectively benefit so we can all win and accomplish our respective goals? Why not thrive and profit alongside Mother Nature instead of profiting while harming her? She is our common ground, air and water. Let’s allocate our capital, energies and attention to the elements that make our home livable and our bodies robust. To reap these benefits, we must rapidly provide organizations like Hot Planet Repair Team (HPRT) with the assets needed to ensure our collective success — primarily donations. HPRT will help us all win as soon and efficiently as possible. When we embrace different perspectives and use tools like empathy, it becomes clear why we all need each other and our environment. Help HPRT, help you

Planet repair is here and will be our future, so take the opportunity to be a part of building our team and systems. If the best repairs get out there in the most urgent, efficient and responsible manner… then we all win! Let’s work together and tap into the power of networks to scale up planet repair — along with science, tech and human potential. We can be the catalysts and become the alliance of superheroes planet earth needs.
Transitioning from Scarcity to Abundance
To win, we must engage with and support what makes the earth and life healthy. At that time, we can have fun together as a team. Mobilizing our resources, tools and people will scale up communities and solutions that will untrash this 200-year party. By rapidly growing these movements and transitions, we will easily help one another overcome shared challenges by solving problems in a supportive environment dedicated to achieving a healthy planet. In order to achieve success, we need HPRT to empower and equip us with the planet repair leadership, teamwork and tools necessary to get the job done. Let’s enable humans to untrash our planet and create regenerative and circular global economic and societal systems.
All for One, One for All!
Come launch HPRT’s core functions, including marketing/comms, planet repair playbooks (standardization), innovative financing mechanisms that will be the basis for our Connectory and Planet Repair Leagues. These systems, structures and activities will connect and direct webs of people, places and things to scale up planet repair solutions. Simultaneously, we will have fun doing it all together with our interconnected creativity — and enjoy the empowering forces of art forms like music, writing, sculptures and digital design.
We’re One Big Family, Let’s Behave Like One. It’s Our Destiny.
Humans are a very family-oriented species. Families blossom like fields of flowers by helping each other and often putting the family’s needs first. Happy and healthy families concentrate on their similarities and respect each other’s differences. Humanity is a big family of earth’s inhabitants. There’s no planet B so let’s work to embrace biodiversity — like any healthy soil or forest. We share one huge, circular home that we need to care for and nurture, not trash and destroy.
I like to think of all big groups of people (i.e, giant nation states or the EU) on earth as big families that have tons of differences but, more importantly, so many similarities. Those massive groups of humans who grow and thrive the most are the ones that can effectively and collectively act together for everyone’s benefit. Robust families embrace empathy, communication and sharing. Trust is also key — like listening to the queen bee. So, let’s share the honey 🍯 by doing a better job of allocating our money. Responsibly and economically supplying money for Mother Nature and humanity is how we must work together to respect our matriarch and home 🌍.
If we continue to focus on our differences, we will continue down the same path — and that path has not been a winning one. It’s time for a new approach. We must learn to communicate positively, agree and compromise with each other more. For too long we have had governments that announce climate goals without ever meeting the targets they’ve set. People are growing frustrated with a lack of achievable goals. It’s time to set goals, state a realistic plan to achieve those goals and measure success. No greenwashing and excuses. It’s time to over deliver on old promises and exceed our greatest expectations as a family. We’ll utilize our collaborative forces for monitoring, evaluation and enforcement that will uncover the problem makers, like greenwashers.
The best families are those that protect their vulnerable populations and do what they can to build, improve and sustain their homes and ecosystems. By helping each other, we can all be winners, because we cannot afford for earth to lose. All that winner vs. loser jazz can be played out in sports and other competitive means. We need to all be winners to save our planet.
Life on earth means we all share a place to live. What happens when someone trashes your home? Do you ask them to clean it? If it was you, wouldn’t you clean it? Or, perhaps, you can keep trashing it for an additional 200 years? Like our oceans, every organism plays its role in sustaining oceanic health — and needs its fair share and respect. Sharing is caring. By sharing you can become part of the solution and help bring about the change we need.
