I’ve always wanted to grow my own food but as I live in a city I never thought I could. The courses on earthed are so simple and easy to follow. I’ve loved learning new skills and sharing them with my friends and family.

Sophie Shnapp, Ibiza Sophie Shnapp, Ibiza

Through Earthed, I learn from global leaders in ecosystem restoration, and connect with like-minded people to problem solve and share stories. It gives so much, for such a small monthly donation. I really can’t recommend it highly enough.

Kesewa Aboah, London Kesewa Aboah, London

Sometimes it feels as if even though you want to participate in all the productive and good that you know you can do, you have no idea where, when or how to start. Thankfully we now have Earthed. It’s the simplest of ideas that make the most impact. A truly engaging and thoughtful site, I haven’t and I won’t stop using it.

I cannot express enough how impactful and transformative the Earthed Platform has been in my journey to combat climate change.
