What is earthbongo?

earthbongo is a place to inspire your friends and followers to make the world better. Here, you can be part of a community that strives to make a difference in the world — sometimes by organizing large-scale events, sometimes by suggesting small, incremental changes, and sometimes by challenging you to think and act differently than you were thinking and acting just the day before.

People come to earthbongo to inspire others and to be inspired themselves, to join with likeminded individuals, to work together to make a difference, and best of all, to have fun doing it.

Where do the projects come from?

Projects come from you! There's no top-level group around here stocking the pool with projects. The truth is, it's up to you to make earthbongo a success.

Doing something in your life you wish more people did, too? No matter whether your volunteering an hour a week, saving water by placing a bucket in your sink and reusing the gray water, or finding more local sources for your family's meals — if you inspired a few others to join you, together you'd make an even bigger impact.

So come on — join us! Let us know what you're doing, and challenge others to do what you're doing. You can share comments, photos, and more in the project workspace to amplify the good you're already doing many-fold.

Why should I join you guys, exactly?

If you're looking for a community that is not all talk and debate but actually gets out into the world and does things — welcome home.

earthbongo is all about the community. Join us, share what you're doing in your life to make a better world, and let's work together to make an even bigger impact than any of us can do alone.

It's all free, huh? What about ads?

Yes, it's free. And there will never be any ads. Why? Because we hate ads. And when you're trying to inspire other people to make a better world, the last thing you want to see are ads.

Who created earthbongo, and why?

For a few months now, a bunch of us have been thinking every day about what kind of site we'd like to use ourselves. We were thinking about something social, but that was all about real results. Something fun to explore, something where people surprised and inspired you with the things they're doing in their lives to make the world better.

That's how we dreamed up earthbongo.

earthbongo seems like it should be a non-profit. Is it?

That's what we thought, too. earthbongo just felt like a non-profit to us. So that's how we started out.

Then some strange stuff happened. You should read our history if you want to know more...
