About WaterStarr

Protecting the elements that make life possible.

WaterStarr Global Initiatives is a global initiative dedicated to protecting the essential elements of life. We promote living in alignment with Balance to create environmental, social, and economic stability.

Our mission

The greatest unification effort the world has seen.

WaterStarr is dedicated to protecting the elements that make life on Earth possible. If any one of these elements fails, life on this planet cannot continue. Together, we are building a global movement that unites people, science, business, and governments to restore balance between humanity and the planet by aligning how we live with the Balance that sustains life.

Life-support tolerance

Four elastics

Food, air, water and heat each hold life within a range. Each behaves like an elastic: it takes load, it gives, it returns. Pull past the limit and it does not stretch further — it snaps beyond repair. The hands on the far end are ours: drag the years forward.

Drag the slider — or use the arrow keys — to move human activity from 1850 to 2100 and watch each band take the strain.

Homeostasis is what lets the system absorb us at all. Each band has a different limit, so the first failure is not a choice we get to make.

We are the only species with the power to affect the health of the entire planet. With this power comes a responsibility to start living our lives in a way that respects a peaceful balance with the earth and other living species on this planet — a life founded on Harmony.
