About us
Down To Earth is a product of our commitment to make changes in the way we manage our environment, protect health and secure livelihoods and economic security for all. We believe strongly that we can and must do things differently. Our aim is to bring you news, perspectives and knowledge to prepare you to change the world. We believe information is a powerful driver for the new tomorrow. Down To Earth was started by environmentalist Anil Agarwal, who had a dream and commitment to make us aware of our challenges and believed that we could be the change in the world. It started in 1992 as a print magazine – our first cover was the ecological globalisation in the inter-connected world. Since then we have come a long way (or not) as the world is more aware of the dangers of climate change and yet even less prepared to deal with challenges of local and global environmental management.
