Protect Privacy with Enforceable Laws

Some countries, such as the USA don't have particularly strong privacy laws, which leaves people vulnerable to corporations and politicians who may seek to abuse their access to our data.

Paper Shredding

For those of us who still use paper or receive physical mail, it's important to open all envelopes, and shred or otherwise destroy key information including names, addresses, account and identification numbers, etc. Many recycling pick up services won't accept shredded paper in mixed recycling bins, but your community may offer services or special recycling days for bringing in or picking up sensitive documents for shredding and recycling.

About This Site

We're still very much in our beginning phase, but have a small, growing team of volunteers gathering the latest developments and (re)discoveries that can help us all spend our time and energy more wisely, as the window to make a meaningful impact quickly draws shut.

Scientists have told us that the time to act is "now or never".

Fortunately our ancient ancestors already invented many solutions that were lost over time, but which are being rediscovered, or even improved upon by modern science. We also live in a point in human history when were have more scientists, engineers, and others collaborating with missions of solving water shortages, reducing emissions, and everything else we need to do to survive the unfolding crisis.

We believe that by gathering examples of and instructions for the many ancient and newly invented solutions into one place, we can help you be a part of the green revolution needed to save ourselves and the ecosystems that keep us all alive. We're working hard to help find things that you can do at home for little-to-no money. Things you can implement at home, work, or school, or that can be done at the civic level.

We don't accept donations or allow advertising, but we do mention and even show some products as examples of existing items/solutions. This generally isn't an endorsement of any specific product or design (though we have tried to stick with recipes and food brands we personally enjoyed), but rather intended as examples of what is currently possible and accessible around the world. Some may even be available in your area!

If you would like to get involved, give feedback, etc. please feel free to contact any of the mods on r/planeteerhandbook
