Kindness and civility are keys to a happier, healthier life — Join the Karma Club where “The More You Do, The Greater Your Rewards”

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, November 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- One Planet - One People (1POP) is calling for a return to a time when the United States was more united through kindness and civility rather than intractable vitriol. The nonprofit is inviting individuals, schools, faith-based organizations, nonprofits, governments and businesses to begin with one daily Planned Act of Kindness through the Karma Club at KarmaClub.net.

The need to heal is well documented. A 2023 Pew Research Center survey found that about eight in ten U.S. adults say the tone and nature of political debate has become less respectful and fact-based in recent years. A 2023 U.S. Surgeon General advisory reported that about half of American adults have experienced loneliness, and UNESCO reports that one in three students is bullied in a given month. According to 1POP, division in public life and disconnection in daily life reinforce each other.

The solution, according to 1POP, is prevention rather than reaction: small, repeatable acts of kindness practiced every day by people in every community. The Karma Club puts that idea into practice through Planned Acts of Kindness, short daily activities that build respect, tolerance and civility. The club motto is "The More You Do, The Greater Your Rewards."

Members earn recognition and rewards through four monthly activities: Daily Planned Acts, Engagement, Volunteerism and Support. Challenge and reward coins mark progress. Members around the world are also encouraged to create a short kindness video in their own language, share the video and aim to go viral for good, so that a single act can inspire many more.

"We seem more content to deal with the consequences however horrific, when we should have been planting the seeds of prevention,” said Lyle Benjamin, founder of One Planet - One People.

The mission of the Karma Club and 1POP is to make the world a better place, one Planned Act of Kindness at a time. Goal one is a movement in 195+ countries with hundreds of millions of members by 2028, all able to perform the same Planned Act of Kindness on the same day and unleash that much positive energy into the world. Goal two is collaboration on common causes, stopping climate change, pollution, pandemics and war from reaching tipping points that affect the quality of life of billions of people.

The Karma Club serves five groups of people, students, employees, owners, retirees and the unemployed, and five types of institutions: schools, faith-based organizations, nonprofits and NGOs, governments and businesses. The work aligns with the four pillars of 1POP, civility, social responsibility, volunteerism and global citizenship, and with the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (and the 18 Global Collaborative Sustainability Requirements, Brink-clock.OnePlanet-OnePeople.com)

Participants can also engage a passion through any one of 40+ programs, including One Planet - One People Clubs and the Project KOPE Wellness Program, with real-world tie-ins to ESG, SDG and CSR benefits. For youth and adults, the aims include greater respect, tolerance and civility, stronger relationships, and less loneliness, anxiety and abusive behavior. Companies can adopt the Karma Club as a loyalty, volunteer or team-building program that supports CSR and ESG goals.

1POP invites the public to Be the Hero. Individuals can sign up free at KarmaClub.net, explore Cool Moves at CoolMoves.us and learn more at OnePlanet-OnePeople.com. Business leaders can find CSR and ESG benefit information at CSRbenefitshub.com, and educational programs are offered through the Benjamin DaVinci Institute at BenjaminDavinciInstitute.com. Schools, parent and teacher organizations, faith-based organizations and employers are encouraged to adopt the program and spread the word widely, so that communities can collaboratively change the direction of the country and the world.
