In the wake of the results of the recent elections in the US, The Earth Initiaive is rededicating our efforts to track efforts being made by
- States
- Cities
- Corporations
- Federal Government Agencies (voluntarily)
- Universities
- Farms
- Non Profits (either their own footprint - or though their Climate related initiatives)
- Hotels
- Apartment complexes
- Developers
- Individuals
... efforts to increase sustainability, decrease the worst of the impact of the Climate Change that we are now experiencing, and to honor and protect #OurAmazingWorld
