Blog Etiquette

Planet2025 Voices is about a planet in peril, humanity at the crossroads, challenges and solutions, about values, norms, rules and regulations, spirit, transformation, and question of our ability to achieve a sustainable way of life by 2025.  

Planet2025 Voices is about people sharing their vision to shape a common future. More specifically, our blog’s purpose is to:

• promote the sharing of positive visions of our future;
• stimulate leadership on sustainability issues; on the part of the new generations in particular
• inspire people and organizations to create a better world; and,
• provide great content that enables anyone, anytime, anywhere to accelerate their learning co-creating the conditions for achieving a globally sustainable lifestyle.

The spirit of the blog content seeks to reflect real-world challenges, practical solutions, and success factors for transformative change of our society; The best ideas aren’t always accepted simply on their merits. Ideas must bear up under the scrutiny of others. The work of convincing people that an idea is worthy of wholesale adoption must never be taken for granted.

Our blog is not meant to censor some ideas while advancing others. We are a place where all ideas related to sustainability can be respectfully discussed and examined. The content of the blog as a whole, and the popularity of content among members of the blog is directly related to how members are choosing to use the site to discuss what is most important to them. Other than offering inspiring content provided by our Blog Voices for dialogue, reflection, and action, we have chosen not to interfere with democratic participation, because it is our firm belief that contrary voices help to sharpen the arguments that will ultimately lead to the best answers for our planet.

To this end, we ask that you respect other viewpoints you might encounter on this site. Engaging ideas and debating viewpoints can be done respectfully, and this is what we ask of you as you participate in the activities of our blog. We are not a community of ideological clones, but we are a community, so civility is required.
