Planetfesto.org has a goal to build a virtual ribbon around the world with its environmental movement that's based a Web 2.0 social movement. Stretching this ribbon around the planet Earth would be awesome. Every ribbon is made up of a photo or drawing which shows with an explanation why the person loves our planet with their pledge and action plan. The site has a quote by Wendell Berry stating, "What we do not love, we will not save." The site is filled with enlightening music and listed are ideas of things people can do to make a difference, as well as lesson plans for teachers. People can also rate a piece of the ribbon on the site.

History
Planetfesto was founded by a husband and wife team in California on February 14th, 2007, with assistance from friends and volunteers. Planetfesto remains free of any advertising, and serves as a nonprofit charity. For instance, The Village School in Gorham, Maine has contributed over 600 pieces of the ribbon. http://www.planetfesto.org/index.php?s=tags_village+school One such comment at The Village School includes, "I love all the animals of the world and I really like baby cows and all the farm animals." - Kristen -
