18 Sep Take the PlanetRest Pledge
A Promise for Future Generations
At PlanetRest, we believe in the power of individual actions to create global change. That’s why we’ve created the PlanetRest™ Pledge, a commitment to reduce our ecological footprint and give the planet the rest it desperately needs.
By taking the PlanetRest Pledge, you’re not only committing to lower your carbon footprint but also joining a movement dedicated to moving Earth Overshoot Day—currently set at July 24, 2025—further into the future. Each small step, from reducing energy consumption to adopting sustainable practices, brings us closer to restoring balance between humanity and nature.
What Does the Pledge Involve?
- Adopt 10 Actions: Choose at least ten sustainable actions from the PlanetRest Action Guide to integrate into your daily life. These could include energy-saving habits, reducing waste, or supporting renewable energy.
- Unplug One Day a Week: Dedicate one day each week to disconnect from technology and powered machinery, giving both yourself and the planet a break from the constant demands of modern life.
- Two-Week Break from the Grid: Plan two consecutive weeks out of the year to reduce your reliance on equipment, vehicles, and the electrical grid as much as possible. This time will help you reconnect with nature and reduce your carbon emissions.
By committing to this pledge, you’re making a promise to future generations that you will take concrete steps to ensure a livable planet for years to come. It’s not just about personal responsibility—it’s about inspiring those around you to join this collective effort.
Why the PlanetRest Pledge Matters
The truth is, we are at a critical point in our relationship with the Earth.
Earth Overshoot Day marks the date when humanity’s demand for ecological resources in a given year exceeds what Earth can regenerate. Every action we take to reduce our impact helps move the date back, giving the planet more time to recover and restore its balance.
By taking the pledge, you are standing with millions of others who believe in the power of collective action. Together, we can push for policy changes, support sustainable innovations, and create a future where humanity and the planet thrive in harmony.
