The Earth Citizens Organization create leaders who make a difference in their communities through their services and mindful living practices. ECO leaders teach outreach classes, create community initiatives and help other charitable causes and organizations. Through their services, they lead changes of great impact, locally and globally, to move forward to a more mindful, humane and sustainable w
orld. The name of the organization represents the understanding that we all are citizens of the Earth and share the responsibility as its stewards for the well-being and continuity of the community of life on the planet. Earth Citizen is the shared identity for all people who take this responsibility. ECO will be the leading organization to organize and lead Earth Citizens’ activities to promote the spirit of Earth Citizenship. We all know that we need to change to make our lives on this planet sustainable. However, if we were to attempt to make a large-scale change in a short period of time, the stress and strain of such an effort would probably frustrate the effort itself. To facilitate change, we should learn to think ‘soft.’ Even with people, we can start the change from softer things such as the way we breathe, the way we eat, the way we manage our stress, and the way we feel toward other people and other living beings. These soft parts shape our behaviors and our choices, both on a personal and a global scale. In this respect, they are fundamental, more so than any material change. These elements, together with training and practices for mindfulness and leadership, are the foundation of the training and education that ECO provides for the people who desire to initiate the change in their lives and their community. ECO has been running its leadership program under the name “Heroes”. The purpose of the program is to cultivate Hero-ship, the greatest qualities of human nature such as integrity, kindness, conscience and willingness to serve all, because we believe these are the most powerful means to change our lives. Graduates of our programs return to their communities ready to share what they have learned and experienced through outreach classes and community services. The generous donations of individuals and supporting institutions make it possible for ECO to provide this invaluable education below cost. For a $10 minimum donation, you can become a part of the community of Earth Citizens. You can also help Earth Citizenship expand by helping ECO invite your friend to become an Earth Citizen as well.
