On Earth Day, Earth Charter International launched the 2012 Earth Charter and Rio+20 Communications Campaign with the slogan
“See the world through the Earth Charter lenses”.
The campaign involves two one-minute TV videos, as well as printed advertisements, an exhibition, and more. This campaign will spread the Earth Charter message and run through two phases from April to December 2012. It seeks to sensitize people about the need to see what normally is not seen and to perceive the interconnections.

“We have developed the design’s core principles around a balance of social, economic and environmental concerns,” says HOK vice president Thomas Knittel. HOK’s goal for the project was to create a facility with net zero water and waste. The Project Haiti Orphanage and Children’s Center will be built with sustainability in mind and will “tell many of these children for the first time in their lives they are valued, they deserve to breathe clean air, they have the right to live in comfort, and they are cared about,” according to the USGBC website.
