EarthSayers are those people of all ages who speak up for and in defense of our planet, Earth. It is what a person says or has to say about sustainability. They are experts, teachers, leaders, and citizens from all walks of life who use the language of sustainability. We created the term when we came up with the idea to use the Web's video search engines, particularly [Blinkx], to identify and put in one place a collection of audio and video programs that talk about sustainability. We named the site, [earthsayers.tv], the voices of sustainability.

To our knowledge, the term did not exist prior to our use of it in the context of sustainability. There are many sites dedicated to sustainability, but earthsayers is the only one in the United States that features audio and video content only. The dot-tv is used to denote the uniqueness of the content from the majority of sites that are text-based.

Content is reviewed for relevancy and quality (particularly sound quality) and the voices are identified and called out on the site as earthsayers. As of June, 2009 we have identified nearly 400 earthsayers after reviewing over 4,000 programs. There are another 8,000 plus programs to review and new ones are added everyday.
