-- Global outreach and engagement programs combine civility and social responsibility to enhance Quality of Life for everyone
NEW YORK, New York—Many people are upset and frustrated about the state the world is in— the “us vs them” mentality that dominates discourse, the increasing lack of civility, the expanding toll climate change and pollution are having on the environment and people’s quality of life.
Lyle Benjamin, founder of the nonprofit organization Planned Acts of Kindness, has created a series of innovative programs under the banner “One Planet – One People” and declared 2020: The Year of World Kindness with the goal of people around the world doing 1 Billion Planned Acts of Kindness.
Because of the critical importance of 2020 to people and the planet, the organization is producing a series of initiatives throughout the year:
· Daily Planned Acts of Kindness that people can do with friends, family, co-workers and in the community — with the goals of tens of millions of people doing the same Planned Act on the same day and unleashing that much positive, powerful energy into the world
· Post the number of Planned Acts of Kindness you pledge to do on the organization’s website: PlannedActs.Org
· “One Planet-One People Clubs” Social Responsibility gearing up in schools and communities around the world
· Book series 16 Things We All Can Do To Act Right & Help Save The Planet, with special editions on sustainability, kindness, climate change, pollution, leadership and more
· Planned Act of Kindness Courses on civility, social responsibility, volunteerism, global citizenship
· Summits in Washington D.C., Beijing, China; New Delhi, India, and Rome, Italy
· “Be The Hero” programs that combine education, action, recognition and rewards for schools, churches/temples, NPOs, Agencies and businesses on sustainability, health & safety, food loss & waste, and other issues
· Edutainment computer/table game One Planet-One People: The Fight for the Survival of the Human Race that battles real world tipping points
Founder Lyle Benjamin offers actions individuals can do now to support the summits and 2020: The Year of World Kindness including forming “One Planet Clubs” in schools and communities; taking the organization’s Civility Challenge Pledge in your native language; pledging to do a specific number of PAKs in 2020; and volunteering with the organization.
“We are all in this together” Benjamin states. “And, if we don’t start acting like we are “One Planet – One People” 10-15 years from now the world will be tremendously different for billions of people, and not in good way.”

Praise for Planned Acts of Kindness
“What you’re doing is great. I’m glad you’re taking on this project. We definitely need it. We’ve become so, let’s just call, divided in our country and when we are just talking being human beings, about solving problems we all share, it doesn’t matter what side of the political spectrum you’re on.”
— Jack Canfield, best-selling author of Chicken Soup for the Soul and The Success Principles
“I really see how this program can be a game changer. It’s tremendously ambitious, but it has what it takes to make it happen.”
— Steve Harrison, Bradley Communications. Founder of National Publicity Summit, Network & Radio/TV Interview Report (launched Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Chicken Soup for the Soul, Men Are From Mars)
