Hands Off Mother Earth (H.O.M.E) is a global campaign to defend our one precious home, Planet Earth, against the threat of geoengineering experiments.
The HOME campaign provides a common platform for organizations and individuals around the world to register their opposition to geoengineering experiments. The campaign asserts that the seas, skies and soils of our home planet should not be used as a laboratory for these unjust and risky technological fixes.
The HOME campaign was launched in April 2010 at The World People’s Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth in Cochabamba Bolivia by a coalition of international civil society groups, indigenous peoples organizations and social movements. These groups invite other organizations worldwide as well as individuals to sign up in support of the campaign.
The HOME campaign will collect together messages of concern including photos, video and audio messages to deliver to decision-makers in key international meetings throughout the coming year leading up to the next meeting of the UNFCCC in Cancun in December 2010. We will also work together on common actions.For more background on the campaign:

Geo-engineering is but another manifestation of the kind of arrogant thinking that got us into this environmental mess in the first place. It is thinking which sees us as apart from Nature rather
than part of Nature.
