Our Future Planet

We have drawn a line in time.
Our present planet is on one side, and our future planet is on the other.
Our Future Planet enables you to rethink a future that does not follow on blindly from the ways of the past.

Global charity

Our Future Planet (OFP) is an online community and think tank designed to create global change in the real world today. The site allows you to share ideas, design your future and change the face of the planet as we know it. The charity evolved out of a desire to rethink the direction the world is heading in and aims to inspire people to create a better world in which to live.

"What Our Future Planet is doing is creating the emergence of a new story of a world that truly can work for everyone. Without such explorations, there is very little chance of our survival into the next century.”
- Dr Jean Houston, philosopher, author and researcher



Our Vision

"Our vision is to harness global co-operation to create a sustainable, beautiful, just and happy future.  You can be part of this creative community designing and changing their future. The more people sign up, the more ideas are shared; the larger and stronger our community grows, and the closer we come to achieving our vision."
Sign up today and start creating a better future!

This world is our only home. As the world population soars to nearly 7 billion, people everywhere have the choice to cooperate and rethink the direction the world is heading in. To a safe world with peace, abundance and prosperity in a sustainable environment with clean water, fresh air, biodiversity and beauty. A true home for people, animals and plants filled with creativity, cooperation, transparency, health, wisdom and happiness.

No other web-based community focuses on integrated systemic change at the grass roots level. There is no platform on which to build innovative visions of a better future or to harness creative ideas that can bring about positive behavioural change. There is no one facility that allows the people, and not just the leaders, to rethink the way we live, and to implement change.
On which side of the line do you want to be standing?

OFP has a passionate team, strong Advisory Board, dedicated Trustees and a powerful website. Has there ever been a time of so much promise, so much of a chance to make a difference?

By understanding global issues and connecting with others with shared interests it is possible to facilitate change at a local and international level.
