Redefining Progress (RP) works with a broad array of partners to shift the economy and public policy towards sustainability. RP does this in three ways:

• RP measures the real state of our economy, our environment, and social justice with tools like the Genuine Progress Indicator and the Ecological Footprint.
• We design policies—like environmental tax reform—to shift behavior in these three domains (economy, environment, and equity) towards sustainability.
• We promote and create new frameworks—like common assets—to replace the ones that are taking us away from long-term social, economic, and environmental health.

RP collaborates with partners because sustainability requires the broad engagement of individuals, organizations, and institutions.

Redefining Progress works with partners to change technology, influence the choices individuals make, and resolve pressing social and environmental issues. RP also adds to our partners’ efforts by pursuing systemic change in underlying economic, political, and social mechanisms.

Founded by the organizers of the first Earth Day in 1970, Earth Day Network (EDN) promotes environmental citizenship and year round progressive action worldwide. Our mission is to build broad-based citizen support for sound, workable and effective environmental and sustainable development policies for all.

Results for kids taking the quiz are comparable to results from the United States version of the myfootprint.org, our more-thorough online quiz for older kids and adults.
