It seems that everyone is turning to AI these days for answer to critical questions. We thought we would do the same, especially when it comes to developing ideas and solutions for combatting climate change.
As such, in honor of the upcoming 10-year anniversary of the launch of the .earth web domain, we decided to ask ChatGPT what the top 10 priorities for healing the planet should be, and the answers are definitely worth a look.
- Transition to Renewable Energy, Now: Fossil fuels are the biggest contributor to global warming. Solar, wind, and geothermal are affordable and scalable.
- Protect and Restore Nature: Forests, wetlands, and oceans aren’t just beautiful, they’re carbon sinks, biodiversity havens, and natural buffers against disasters.
- Reimagine Our Food Systems: Industrial agriculture is a major driver of emissions, deforestation, and water pollution. Supporting regenerative, local, and plant-forward food systems can help reverse these trends.
- Eliminate Fossil Fuel Subsidies: Despite climate pledges, trillions are still poured into fossil fuel subsidies each year. Redirecting these funds is essential.
- Protect Environmental Defenders: Indigenous peoples and grassroots environmental activists are on the frontlines, and often at risk.
- Address Environmental Justice: Marginalized communities are often hit first and worst by environmental degradation. Climate solutions must also be equity solutions – with fair access to clean air, water, and energy.
- Rethink Transportation: Cars, planes, and shipping produce huge amounts of emissions. Expanding public transit, electrifying fleets, and designing walkable, bikeable cities can drastically reduce our carbon footprint.
- Invest in Climate Adaptation: From sea walls to drought-resistant crops to early-warning systems, we must invest in ways to adapt.
- Support Circular Economies: Our throwaway culture is choking ecosystems. We need to prioritize repair, reuse, recycling, and smarter product design.
- Communicate, Collaborate, and Educate: None of this works without public engagement. Everyone has a role to play.
In November, we will officially mark our 10th anniversary, and we’re reminded why this space matters more than ever. Over the past decade, thousands of change-makers from environmental NGOs to green tech startups to climate artists, have claimed a .earth web address to signal their commitment to a better future.
And as we look toward the next decade, we invite you to join us. Whether you’re launching a bold new project, creating climate content, or simply want your values reflected in your online presence, there’s a place for you in the .earth web domain tribe.
The .earth web domain is ideal for enhancing your brands and communicating your mission of creating a safer planet through platforms for social and environmental activism.
To help you accomplish this, the .earth web domain and its registrar partners are offering special pricing for one-year registrations of standard .earth domain names starting at under $10.00 USD – from April 22, 2025 to June 30, 2025.
