Get your Planet Earth on

All of us staffers are huge fans of the BBC’s Planet Earth series. Fighting climate change can be such an uphill battle that it’s always rejuvenating to be reminded of what we’re fighting for. Watching this series is one of our favorite ways to stay focused on the fight. Narrator David Attenborough explains it well:

This new series is more a celebration of our planet, not a lament about the state of it. It shows what is still there.

We’ve been so consistently inspired by this show that we want to share it with all of you. So, starting today, just sign up for a card, use it once for a qualifying purchase, and we’ll put the DVD in the mail for you. (Already have a card? Get one of your friends to apply and then watch their copy ;) )

We really hope you’ll find it as inspiring as we do.

Launch: Brighter Schools

We've heard it over and over from teachers, parents, and administrators in the Brighter Planet community: "How can I get my school involved?" That's why we're happy to announce the Brighter Schools program. Participating schools can:

  • use our educational materials to get students thinking about climate change
  • earn fundraising dollars when parents sign up for our products
  • compete with other schools to make the biggest green impact
