They made it. Now what?
Friday evening on April 10, Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego.
The Artemis II mission was a great one. They’d been the farthest human beings from Earth ever in their beautifully named space craft, Integrity. We were actually watching it live. And we were moved by it too. Not only because it was simply an extraordinary human achievement, but also because of what those astronauts saw and said while they were out there, 252,756 miles from ‘home’.
What You See, When You See the Whole Thing
Jeremy Hansen, the Canadian astronaut on the crew, said simply: "Right away, you are humbled. The fact that four of us get to be out here just brings you to your knees."
And Victor Glover — the first Black astronaut to journey beyond low Earth orbit — spoke about Earth from that distance as a reminder of something important: our shared identity. All of us, on one small, glowing thing.
From the far side of the Moon, you can't separate the forests from the oceans. You can't distinguish the land from the communities living on it. You can't see the borders or the categories we use to organise our concern about the planet. You just see Earth. One living system. One home.
Earth Day Is Coming — But One Day Isn't Enough
This April 22nd, people will come together for Earth Day, taking action, raising awareness, making commitments.
It's a moment we value deeply.
But here's what we keep coming back to: Earth doesn't need one good day a year.
It needs every day, week, month and year that follows.
The challenge with Earth Month campaigns — even the most well-intentioned ones — is that they can create a "done" feeling. We hit a goal, we celebrate, and then April ends. The urgency fades. The action stops. And the planet, of course, keeps needing attention.
What if the most meaningful thing we could do this Earth Month wasn't a one-time action, but the beginning of something that keeps going?
Our planet is here for us every day. And so can our efforts to protect this precious space.
Introducing: the One Planet Bundle
When we looked at what the Artemis II crew saw from space — one whole Earth, all of it connected — we asked ourselves: what would it mean to give in a way that reflects that wholeness?
Not just trees. Not just one ecosystem. Not one cause, one campaign, one moment.
The One Planet Bundle is our answer to that question.
It's a monthly giving bundle, available now in your B1G1 account, that spreads your contribution across a range of projects working together to protect and uplift the whole living Earth.
When you support the One Planet Bundle, your giving flows across:
Forest Protection - Protect Rainforests in the World
Restores and protects forests in countries such as Australia, Honduras, and Indonesia. This strengthens wildlife corridors, supports community-led conservation, and provides sustainable livelihoods that help local families protect their ancestral forests while preserving biodiversity and combating climate change.
Clean Water Access - Provide Clean Water in the World
Helps deliver safe and reliable drinking water to communities in countries such as Kenya, Cambodia, and Malawi, as well as many others in need. This reduces waterborne disease, improves health and wellbeing, and ensures access to one of life’s most essential human rights.
Access to Solar Devices - Provide Solar Lamp for a Small Room
Provides solar lamps to families in rural Kenya, especially women and school children. This creates safer homes, reduces dependence on kerosene, and allows children to study after dark.
Tree Planting - Plant a Tree in the World
Supports the planting of native trees in countries such as Madagascar, the United States, Australia, and many others. This helps restore ecosystems, improve soil health and biodiversity, capture carbon, and in some cases create income opportunities for local communities.
Sustainable Agriculture and Livelihoods - Train a Farmer in Regenerative Farming
Equips farmers in Indonesia with regenerative farming skills such as crop rotation and organic methods. This reduces harmful slash-and-burn practices, improves soil health, and supports long-term food security and sustainable livelihoods.
Each of these threads matters on its own. Together, they reflect the kind of care that actually sustains a living planet — the same whole, interconnected system the Artemis II crew looked back at from 250,000 miles away.
The bundle is designed to evolve. As the world changes, as new projects emerge, as we learn more about what creates lasting impact — the giving will grow with it.
Small. Recurring. Lasting.
Here's what makes this different from a once-off campaign.
When you set the One Planet Bundle as a monthly giving commitment in your B1G1 account, your contribution doesn't end in April. It keeps going in May. And June. And quietly, month after month, it becomes part of how your business exists in the world.
Starting from just $5 a month, you can spread your giving across five threads of the living Earth, supporting so many B1G1 projects.
It’s like paying rent to the planet or giving back to what gives us life simply and automatically every single month.

Gratitude
Our ability to bring these new opportunities to businesses around the world is powered by businesses that have joined this important Mission over the years: to create a world that’s full of giving.
Those B1G1 Members have already created millions of impacts around the world. You've given clean water. You've planted trees. You've supported communities, protected wildlife, helped children go to school, and given people access to healthcare. You've done this through your everyday business moments, often quietly.
That matters more than we can express.
And now, more than ever, what you're building collectively — no matter how small each individual act might feel — has a greater influence than any single organisation or initiative could achieve alone.
The Artemis II crew came back changed. Humbled by what they saw. Moved by the smallness and the beauty of the one home we share.
We don't have to go to the Moon to feel that way. We just have to choose to care for it — not once, but always.
How to Join the One Planet Mission
You can log in to your B1G1 account and look for the One Planet Bundle. It's there already waiting for you. Set it as a monthly giving commitment, and you'll be part of something that doesn't end when April does.
If you have questions, your B1G1 partnership team is always here to help.
And if you're not yet a B1G1 Member and are interested, we’d love to welcome you and your company in the B1G1 Movement. There's no better month to begin.
With gratitude, and with the whole Earth in mind...
