Imagine--a blue XO (with the O filled in) magically appears on the clothing, hands and elsewhere on hundreds of people who are taking actions everyday to help protect the planet.Imagine--the blue XO then magically appears on thousands of people who want an XO because it looks cool, and because they want to start doing their share for our planet too. Imagine--the blue XO then magically appears on millions of people who are taking actions everyday to help protect the planet. Taking a clear, public stand for the planet is a crucial aspect of helping protect it. Join us by wearing the XO (with a filled-in O as the Earth) to help create a peer to peer ecological movement that shows others that we are honored to take actions to defend our priceless planet. For those of you who already have an ecological lifestyle, wearing the XO leverages the eco actions you are taking by showing others that giving love to our dear planet is fun, empowering and healthy.  So get a blue or green pen, paint or a marker, and draw the XO (with a filled-in O) on your clothes, personal belongings and/or skin. Let's make it more fashionable to take eco actions everyday for our sweet and rare biosphere.For some superb ways to score 1 or more actions for the Earth everyday, check out these 10 actions to *Curb Global Warming* -- by the Sierra Club.

Love / My goal is to explore and embrace the love, beauty, wisdom and wit of the Earth's species and ecosystems -- with 1% or more of my time*. *Big XO Earth / 1 Percent For The Earth Pledge* >>
One of XO Earth's founding principles is that taking actions to help protect our planet manifests more love and passion in our life -- and in others lives as well. 
Giving ecological love to our biosphere is a superb way to experience the sweetest and deepest love and life journey because ::• The river of love that flows through the biosphere moves most freely to those who offer their own love to this mighty river, thus empowering their love even more. • The planet's physical health is crucial to a person's physical health and therefore one's love and life energies. • A person's body, mind and spirit is free to journey deeper into life's bliss when the person's body, mind and spirit know they have first given love to the Earth. And so, XO Earth kindly calls on all humans to give their love to the planet with their environmental choices and actions in order to experience the most magical love, balance and happiness in their lives. more >>
