FULL TEXT

SIGN THIS PETITION IF YOU ANSWER “YES” TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTION(S)
  • Are you ready to join a global celebration of Eco Heroes for Our Planet?
  • Do you want to make a difference but are not sure how to get started?
  • Is the impact of climate change filling you with fear and uncertainty?
  • Do you feel overwhelmed by the ongoing news covers on environmental disasters?
  • Do you think we should live in balance within our earth’s boundaries?
WHY?

While there exist a lot of special days that celebrate nature and the natural elements, there are none that celebrate the ECO HEROES who dedicate themselves to preserving, restoring and protecting our ecosystems and life on planet earth.

These extraordinary people have often worked in the shadows, were frequently harassed and ridiculed because they “questioned the status quo,” or were simply too visionary for their time. Some were even murdered, simply because they denounced injustices or took on the plight of safeguarding the future for the next generations to come.

WHAT?

ECO HEROES are not bound by gender, race, culture, class, religion or country of birth. They are simply inspired by their love and respect for our planet and understand that healthy and balanced ecosystems are a condition for quality lifestyles. 

These people need their platform and through the new “DAY OF THE ECO HERO” they obtain that through an annual event that takes place on May the 5th.

ARE YOU READY TO CELEBRATE THE ECO HEROES OF OUR EARTH?

The “Day of the Eco Hero” is the new day for the HEROES who invest in ecology, ecosystems and the new economy and those people who are known to make a positive mark benefiting Earth. We celebrate their initiatives and their legacy. Others, who want to learn how they can become an Eco Hero too and make a difference as well are invited to take our course and pick up the “Eco Hero Challenge,” a practical exercise through which they will learn about sustainable lifestyles.
