One Law for Earth

A planetary vote

Our mission is simple and universal

01

Promote a principle of balance: take no more than the Earth can regenerate.

02

Give the whole world the chance to vote for this principle, then for a project that turns it into reality.

The evidence

We are spending the future

Earth Overshoot Day — the day we have used up a whole year of what the planet can renew — keeps arriving earlier.

Very wealthy countries

Overshoot day reached as early as February or March, driven by excessive consumption of energy and goods.

Middle-income / industrialised countries

Reached in spring.

Developing / low-income countries

The ecological footprint per person is so low that it often stays at or below local biocapacity, pushing overshoot back — or avoiding it altogether.

1972

The Meadows report proved that infinite growth in a finite world (with limited resources) was impossible.

Today

More than 50 years later, we are nonetheless still on the same trajectory.

The blind spot

What money fails to see

Money records a cost, but not the collapse of a forest, an ocean or a climate. By leaving nature out of its accounts, we gave pollution its most deceptive mask: it looks free.

Why anchor quotas to money?

Money is one of humanity's most powerful inventions: it lets billions cooperate without knowing one another. But it has a blind spot. It counts transactions, not the depletion of resources; profits, not the loss of species.

The result: what destroys the living world looks free. Anchoring quotas to money gives the economy a compass — the limits of the Earth — without replacing the market.

Anchoring quotas to money would build the planet's limits into the heart of every exchange — not replacing the market, but giving it a framework compatible with the Earth's capacity to regenerate.

The project

A currency aligned with ecological impact

01

A second unit, beside money

Complete money with a second unit: an ecological quota — a yearly share of what the Earth can regenerate, divided equally among all humans.

02

Every product shows its true cost

Each product carries an official ecological index — its full footprint: resources, waste, transport and emissions.

03

Two debits at every purchase

At every purchase, two debits: one in money, one in quota. The price reflects the economy, the quota reflects ecology.

04

If I run out of quota

Three choices: buy more on a public exchange, postpone my consumption, or give it up.

05

Justice for people and the planet

Frugal citizens can resell their surplus quota. The biggest consumers thus pay the most modest: a double justice, ecological and social.

Systemic effect

The rules of the game change

As quotas grow scarce, the logic of the world flips. For those who consume little, each quota becomes wealth; for the others, excess now has a price. For companies it is the same shift: frugal, durable solutions win markets, while the heaviest polluters become a burden to their own customers.

For companies it is the same shift.

The heart of it

Balance, or decline

A single rule, universal and non-negotiable: never take more than the Earth can regenerate.

Believing in infinite resources on a finite planet is absurd. A lasting future is built not in denial of the limits of reality, but in recognising and integrating them.

The vote

Why your vote matters

This vote makes humanity's collective will visible. And once a will becomes visible, it becomes a force. This vote does not merely create a shared opinion: it creates a balance of power grounded in democratic legitimacy.

No country has to act alone: each commits on the condition that the others commit too. No one jumps first, everyone leaps together.

Two votes, one rule

First the principle that sets the rule, then the law that applies it. Choose what you're voting on:
