American Earth: Pro Environment, Pro America
Launched June 28, 2026, American Earth is a new initiative to promote patriotic environmentalism.
Inspired by the history of the United States and the environmental movement itself, patriotic environmentalism believes that the first priority of the US environmental movement should be protecting the US environment. Not because it’s better, but because it is ours — our piece of the planet, our American Earth.

American Earth’s Principles
Patriotism — Our duty is to protect the homeland.
Americans first — Limit scarces resources first to Americans, especially those whose forefathers built this country and fought to protect its environment.
Think globally. Act locally. — Thinking globally does not mean mindlessly submitting to the full globalist agenda.
Self-reliance — Seek self-sufficiency in energy, materials and technology.
Sovereignty — Preserves the sovereignty of all levels of popularly elected government in the US against international trade treaties.
Freedom and populism — Preserve whenever possible the basic freedoms of Americans to travel, make a living, build their homes, and pursue happiness. Elites cannot ask sacrifices for the environment that they are unwilling to make themselves.
Celebrate our roots and heroes — Past environmental leaders did the best they could against tough odds. We judge them by the standards of their times, not ours.
God blessed America — It is the sacred duty of American citizens to protect what God has given.
