NEW YORK—Definitions and standards as well as science and vetted information can be hard to find when discussing sustainability, climate change, environmental causes, and ESG business practices and commitments. One resource, though, that is a great starting point is Earth.org. The website offers a range of definitions, explanations, guidance, updates and activities, ranging from breaking news to helpful guides that can help anyone better navigate today’s issues and practices when it comes to sustainability.

In addition to its own advocacy and membership benefits, Earth.org can help anyone learn more about all of the elements and emerging ideas taking hold as climate change and sustainability becomes a more widely accepted goal for more people. It provides a guide to everything from packaging solutions to foods and fashion made sustainably and authentically, all explored on the site.

Also included are manufacturing, the latest on oceans, transportation, biodiversity, policy and more. There are dedicated resource sites such as Earth.org for Teachers, Earth.org for Parents and Earth.org for Kids.

Membership options bring other benefits and there are opportunities to help support particular sustainability and environmental groups and causes.

There are also events, local and global, photography, creativity opportunities and more.

Those who recognize the need to be better informed about issues or just terminology or nonprofits can sign up for the Earth.org weekly e-newsletter, or access monthly roundups here.
