One of our civilization's major discoveries is that we live on a round planet. Today we are in the middle of a more awesome discovery about the nature of our home. Earth is not flat. Earth is not round. Earth is whole.

"Earth is Whole" means that all the planet's physical features and living organisms are interconnected. They work together in important and meaningful ways. The clouds, oceans, mountains, volcanoes, plants, bacteria and animals are all functioning parts of Earth's Operating System.
