Planet Action, An Initiative Launched By Spot Image

Its goal is to encourage the Earth observation industry and geographic information professionals to support local projects searching for adaptive solutions to climate change problems. The products and materials available to these professionals – satellite images, geographic information systems, image processing and display software – are indispensable for studying the impact of global warming on our planet, on local and global scales. Planet Action supports projects that study:

  • the impact on populations and habitat
  • droughts, desertification and water resources
  • vegetation, biodiversity and ecosystems,
  • the oceans
  • ice, glaciers and snow cover

Famous quotes containing the words planet, initiative, launched, spot and/or image:

    “Spring is strong and virtuous,
    Broad-sowing, cheerful, plenteous,
    Quickening underneath the mould
    Grains beyond the price of gold.
    So deep and large her bounties are,
    That one broad, long midsummer day
    Shall to the planet overpay
    The ravage of a year of war.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “A shocking crime was committed on the unscrupulous initiative of few individuals, with the blessing of more, and amid the passive acquiescence of all.”
    —Tacitus (c. 55–120)

    “It grazes the horizons, launched above

    Mortality—ascending emerald-bright,
    A fountain at salute, a crown in view—”
    —Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    “Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who possessed Beauty without Vanity, Strength without Insolence, Courage without Ferocity, and all the Virtues of Man without his Vices. This praise, which would be unmeaning Flattery, if inscribed over human ashes, is but a just Tribute to the Memory of BOATSWAIN, a Dog.”
    —John Cam Hobhouse (1786–1869)

    “All things uncomely and broken, all things worn out and old,
    The cry of a child by the roadway, the creak of a lumbering cart,
    The heavy steps of the ploughman, splashing the wintry mould,
    Are wronging your image that blossoms a rose in the deeps of my heart.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
