Our Planet Project Foundation
A critical mass of ordinary people
Headlines are filled with world leaders threatening conflict of varying degrees, or the language of “Do what we say, or else.” Climate change is discussed daily in the news.
Yet something is missing, lurking in the background. A forgotten threat that remains as real today as it was during the Cold War.
Of all the changes science has brought, the ability of nuclear weapons to destroy
our civilization remains the most far-reaching and profound.
Most people instinctively understand that nuclear weapons threaten their lives. Just ask them. Only something like a giant asteroid striking the earth could destroy the world as we know it so easily or so fast.
– The easiest way to solve a problem is to deny it exists.
Isaac Asimov
Yet we are bombarded daily by a constant stream of ‘newly urgent’ issues. Some are concerning enough, but none promise the terrible destruction that nuclear weapons can bring.
Of course, human beings cannot obsess about unseen threats forever. Out-of-sight, out-of-mind comes to bear. After all, nuclear weapons haven’t been used in anger for years.
But that feeling of security is a terrible illusion.
A logical study of past and present events reveals that civilization itself remains threatened by nuclear weapons this very moment – a threat that has lessened in some ways but grown stronger in others.
The Foundation’s goal is presented in its new book, ‘ROLLING THE DICE WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS: The Illusion of Control and the Path Forward.’
- ‘ROLLING THE DICE’ reveals how very close we have already come to civilization-ending nuclear wars, and how many times it’s nearly happened.
- It documents recent studies showing how the threat of Nuclear Winter is far worse than previously imagined. No corner of our planet is immune from the destruction of nuclear war.
- A brief exploration of the history and science behind nuclear weapons is presented.
- Finally, an original plan is offered for converting broad agreement into effective action.
We invite you to join the conversation about what we know must be done
Our Planet Project Foundation is structured to bypass the usual political realities by converting overwhelming worldwide public opinion against nuclear weapons into an unstoppable force. No one else has a plan anything like it.

Please lend us your voice, join our journey, and discover how you can help eliminate the greatest threat humanity has ever known.
Today’s world is more connected than ever before. With that connection comes a genuine opportunity to eliminate the doomsday clock. But genuine opportunities require effective action.
Social movements arise for a reason. Corruption and injustice are serious concerns. But what good are good intentions if we plunge our planet into a Nuclear Winter where plants can’t grow?
We invite you to join the conversation about what we know must be done.
