Sri Sathya Sai Baba exhorted us to “develop a spirit of Oneness” and to experience unity in diversity. He taught us that the entire creation is the body of God and Nature is the mirror in which the image of God can be seen.

 Serve The Planet (STP) is a global public outreach service project launched by the young adults (Yas, ages 18-40) of the Sri Sathya Sai International Organization (SSSIO). YAs are champions for the environment and are given a special emphasis in the organization The goal is to practice Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s message on ‘Ceiling on Desires’ and caring for the environment.

Serve The Planet focuses on reducing our desires, our consumption of resources and material goods, and hence our ecological footprint, as the key means to protect our environment and to live a happier life. The effort is now supported by the entire SSSIO community. What sets volunteers and participants apart is their sincerity. Sai Baba always cared about quality over quantity.

Using Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s framework to “be, do, then tell,” STP will enable us to better understand His message on the environment, practice it in our daily lives, and to share it widely.

 Since 2016, YAs have led initiatives to green our organizational activities that often include food or other materials for our volunteers or the people we serve. We have set the ambitious targets and welcome more changes as we learn more.
