Silos
seven planet offers consumer goods and services in seven silos. These silos contain offerings generally agreed to be necessary for the world's population to survive comfortably. The companies listed in the silos, on balance, do more to help save the planet than destroy it.
We launched our business on July 7, 2007. Since that time we have not discovered a single "perfect" business. Even businesses that do almost everything right (including recycling, only using sustainable materials and off-setting their carbon footprint) still inevitably have some negative impact on the planet. We strive to only promote businesses that do more good than harm.

Our seven silos are:
- Apparel - Every single person in the world (almost) wears clothes everyday. We strive to promote apparel manufacturers who produce quality goods from recycled and/or sustainable materials, without killing any breathing beings in the process..
- Energy - Everyone on the planet -- from the barefooted bushwoman in Africa cooking food over an open fire to the busy international banker in Switzerland driving to work in his Tesla -- consumes energy. We strive to promote energy solutions capitalizing on fuels from heaven (solar and wind) and earth (water and wood) rather than hell (coal and petroleum).
- Food - We all eat. Most of us eat everyday. We try to promote companies helping with a sustainable plant-based food supply-chain to feed everyone in the world. Nobody should be hungry in this day and age.
- Health - A healthy human is happier than an unhealthy one. We promote companies helping people stay healthy naturally.
- Household - From Eskimos in an igloo to housewives of Beverly Hills, everyone needs things for their household. We try to offer cool things that improve the quality, efficiency and enjoyability of a household.
- Shelter - Everyone needs "shelter from the storms." Whether more temporary (like a Yurt) or more permanent (like a timberframe house), we strive to offer solutions for shelter that are sustainable and comfortable,
- Travel - Almost everyone travels everyday, at least a little bit, and sometimes very far. We try to promote sustainable travel solutions that making traveling more enjoyable.
