Origin of the name White Earth: The Inuit (indigenous people inhabiting the Arctic regions of Canada, Alaska and Greenland) name for Greenland is Kalallit Nunaat which translates to white earth.
 
"We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children." - Haida outlook on life and Earth
 

MISSION

"Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored." - Aldous Huxley ^ return to top ^

WhiteEarth’s mission is to educate people about the importance of reflecting sunlight back away from earth. Since human activities have greatly impacted the subtle balance of the planet's Albedo (reflectivity index of the planet itself), and little or nothing is done by governments about it, we strongly believe a citizen’s approach is the right course and the time to act is now. Many theories are out there about Global-Warming, most agree it's here to stay, it’s getting worse increasingly fast and it's real. Unfortunately by the time our governments implement meaningful laws and enforce them on a global scale as to generate measurable improvements, it will most certainly be too little, too late for our civilization to continue existing the way we do now. However, there are actions that each and everyone of us can take today to offset the negative impact we have already had on our planet. The aim of this organization is to make all the information available to everyone, get the conversation going with the experts, share the outcome with everyone, pressure our government officials to act, and with the right knowledge, get each and everyone of us involved with making small incremental changes of our own. All these small changes made by a lot of people will have a spectacular impact in slowing down, maybe even reversing Global-Warming. Let’s make the right decisions now, let’s “paint the earth white” and save money in the process, and future generations will get to enjoy the same quality of life on earth as we do today.

World CO2 since 1750 (cubic feet)

VISION

Averaged over the last 30 years, we have lost 62,000 square kilometers of Arctic ice PER YEAR, just Arctic ice (There is a lot of ice elsewhere that is melting too). That's 667,362,420,000 square feet of white earth, ice if you will, that is not reflecting sunlight back into the atmosphere any more! If we want to offset this disappearance, each human being, EACH YEAR has to cover the earth with 103 square feet of "mat white paint something". Otherwise, the earth gets warmer. That's a fact. That is just Arctic ice "replacement". What about Antarctic Ice? What about glaciers? Even if human activities are not causing global warming, we are deforesting, we are taking over the land, farming, urbanizing, building all sorts of structures, roads and parking everywhere (black asphalt), etc...World air and ocean temperatures are rising, sea levels are rising, the weather is more extreme, the signs are here. Let's start painting! Not every person on earth has the means to get it done consequently those who can should do more. Click to get your own widget

Fact: glaciers in the Andes have dwindled by as much as 25 percent in recent decades.

Recent global temperatures demonstrate human-induced warming: Over the past 25 years temperatures have increased at a rate of 0.19°C per decade, in very good agreement with predictions based on greenhouse gas increases. Even over the past ten years, despite a decrease in solar forcing, the trend continues to be one of warming. Natural, short-term fluctuations are occurring as usual, but there have been no significant changes in the underlying warming trend.

Fact: Glacier National Park in Montana has gone from 150 glaciers a century ago to 35 today.

WhiteEarthWhite EarthGlobalWarmingTrendWhiteGlacierMeltingCriticalRapidPaceAlarmingClimateChange < Greenland ice sheet melting fast, thinning, shrinking, disappearing, not recovering.

Acceleration of melting of ice-sheets, glaciers and ice-caps: A wide array of satellite and ice measurements now demonstrate beyond doubt that both the Greenland and Antarctic ice-sheets are losing mass at an increasing rate. Melting of glaciers and ice-caps in other parts of the world has also accelerated since 1990.

Rapid Arctic sea-ice decline: Summer-time melting of Arctic sea-ice has accelerated far beyond the expectations of climate models. The area of sea-ice melt during 2007-2009 was about 40% greater than the average prediction from IPCC AR4 climate models.

Fact: 90 to 95 percent of scientists believe climate change is real and it has a human influence.
WhiteEarthWhite EarthGlobalWarmingTrendWhiteGlacierMeltingCriticalRapidPaceAlarmingClimateChange < Earth's Albedo in Decline
Arctic sea ice reflects sunlight, keeping the polar regions cool and moderating global climate. According to scientific measurements, Arctic sea ice has declined dramatically over at least the past thirty years, with the most extreme decline seen in the summer melt season.
The melting of glaciers will raise sea levels dramatically by 2050
The shrinking of the ice caps speeds up global warming
Fact: The Polar Regions are amongst the fastest warming places on Earth and predictions suggest that in the future we'll see warming sea surface temperatures, rising ocean acidification and decreasing winter sea ice -- all of which have a direct effect on marine life.

It is estimated that it will take 100 years before any substantial CO2 reduction. Reflection of sunlight can not only STOP climate change, it can do it OVERNIGHT. It can get the global temperature back to the level it was at before. Since the industrial revolution, the heat started by human activity doesn’t even amount to 30,700 sq. km, or less than 1/10,000 of the heat that the earth receives from the sun. The earth receives an amount of energy from the sun equivalent to the global oil reserves every 36 hours. REFLECTING just a few percent more of this energy will have OVERNIGHT effect. The albedo of an object is the extent to which it diffusely reflects light from the sun. This solution is not going to be remotely as expensive as what the politicians are suggesting we do. Now imagine our world with REFLECTION in mind? Every buildings, houses, structures, cars, trucks, SUV's, etc...white and turning into reflective "units"! The latest scientific estimates say that 60,000 sq. km (an area just slightly bigger than Denmark) of REFLECTIVE materials is all it would take to STOP CLIMATE CHANGE! More and more scientists agree that we will pass the tipping point no matter how many CO2 reductions we make. Population is rising 220,000 people per day (optimumpopulation.org)…we cannot sustain such a demographic increase, we have to level off. The tipping point is too close to rely on slow narrow minded political solutions. Keep reducing CO2 emissions and START REFLECTING! Yes, please do raise your voice, but also change climate change by raising your consciousness as well. Know that 10 sq. meter of mirror/mat white paint will offset 1 ton of CO2 (Berkeley National Laboratory).

Researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine found that the heavier we are, the more greenhouse gases we produce. Here's how it works., according to their research. If you eat more, it takes more energy to produce your food; if you gain weight, you're more likely to drive a car than walk (using more energy), and the car you drive is likely to be a larger car (which is less fuel-efficient). Mother Nature would really like us to get on a diet!

December 15th 2009, former Vice President Al Gore addressed the largest international climate meeting in history, currently underway in Copenhagen, Denmark. Interrupted often with outbursts of applause and ending with a standing ovation, Vice President Gore made clear what's at stake during the U.N. Conference this week: nothing short of the future of human civilization as we know it. Watch the speech: http://repoweramerica.org/wall/#/view/44235
Calling for swift action on a global scale this year, particularly in the United States, Vice President Gore reminded negotiators in attendance that “we are all in this together,” and that failure in Copenhagen is not an option.

Donate your time: WhiteEarth.org is all about acting fast, and that requires a lot of actions to take place simultaneously. Consequently we are always looking for helpful talented people to volunteer their time and help the cause in any way that is necessary. WhiteEarth also needs a celebrity SPOKESPERSON.

Donate your talent: WhiteEarth.org is committed to excellence, which means that we are looking for the best experienced volunteers possible to staff the board of directors who will come up with strategies with the greatest impact possible, which themselves will recruit a second circle of volunteers which will implement all the tactics with the help of yet another circle of volunteers who will bring to life the vision of the organization by executing a myriad of action items. For us to stay current with the latest technologies, news, press-releases and social media, the best minds in their respective fields are always welcome to volunteer, write, debate, using our constructive platform in every which way possible. Donate your talent and become our celebrity SPOKESPERSON.

Donate your treasures: WhiteEarth.org needs all the help it can get, big and small. WhiteEarth.org is a "start-up" organization, which at this time is in the process of legitimization of its legal status, which means we cannot ask for donations in the pure sense of the word, but we can ask for help with all the preliminary steps related to setting up a non-profit, as long as you know that this is what the money will be used for. If you believe in what we are doing and the urgency associated with educating the people so that they can make the right decision for the planet, then do what you can as soon as you can...Other "items" needed: use of a small residence to host the offices, meetings, etc...in Southern Cal, preferably San Diego County. And of course, we are always looking for writers, photographers, and sponsors. If you like what we do please become an active participant on this platform.

Until further notice 100% of any purchase on ArtSymphony.com will go to sponsoring WhiteEarth.org

Planting trees is one of the most important things in combating global warming. Statistics show, each living tree captures 1.2+ tons of Carbon per year as well as keeping a lot of water contained within. Plant more trees on your property, on your lawn...every chance you get. Suggest the same, to your place of work, to your family, your friends and neighbors.

YOU can have the greatest most significant impact now. Start buying white cars and white roofs to save money on air conditioning, white trailers, white garden furniture, use white stucco on all wall crowning, white garden sheds, white patio awnings, white hats, white shirts, coats, overcoats, white car covers, white boat covers, white car ports, white umbrellas, white covered patios and decks, white tiled swimming pools, white tiled island barbecues, white roofed trucks and trailers, white roof train cars. Only elect public officials that will wage the war against military spending, and increase government sponsored Global-Warming initiatives with concrete results seen at the local level with city ordinances that allow the public to do the right thing to their houses, etc... Also public officials that will push for public transportations with white roofs, public buildings with white roofs, light colored concrete roads rather than asphalt, light concrete sidewalks, light concrete parking lots, bus stops with white roofs, government vehicles with white roofs, white water tower roofs, etc...The time to act is now, let's "paint" the world white!
