These organizations support those who are helping communities transition to 100% renewable energy, protecting critical ecosystems and wildlife, and supporting regenerative farming practices. They include the Quick Response Fund for Nature, the Shark Conservation Fund, the Solutions Project, the Global Greengrants Fund and the Carbon Cycle Institute.

In addition to the song and video, the “Earth” project includes an interactive website “We Love the Earth” which aims to educate the public on the realities of climate change. The website was created by Lil Dicky and RYOT in partnership with One Earth and features behind-the-scenes and making-of content, interactive tutorials, merchandise printed on sustainable materials, and more.
