What is A Champoid?™
A ChampoidTM is a person who champions our humanoid species and protects Earth’s biosphere. Being a champoid goes beyond politics, law, economics, nationalism, or morality. It’s a determined way of thinking and acting, acknowledging the interconnectedness and universal consciousness of all things and working to protect and nourish Earth’s biosphere to ensure human survival.
A champoid views humanity as a species, one that needs to survive and has a definite role in the universe. It’s a perspective of humanity that a visiting alien species might harbor. It’s a view of humanity that transcends family, neighborhood, city, state, province, national, religious, racial, or cultural boundaries. It views Earth, the human species, and our role in the universe from many trillions of kilometers away, not 5, 500 or 5,000 kilometers away.
Through their beliefs and actions, champoids support all lifeforms and what some may call non-life. A champoid believes, for example, that Earth’s rare, balanced, fragile, priceless, and self-regulating biosphere is a living set of interrelated systems that makes life possible. We must protect our home. We have no other!
