History

Earther launched with the mission to chronicle three main topics: "The future of Earth," "The future of humans on Earth," and "The future of life on Earth."[1] Managing editor Maddie Stone said that the site was created because it "felt like a salient and important time to create a destination for environmental news where folks can go to read up on the latest studies, but also hear the latest news about how natural disasters are affecting people, the big important environmental policies being raised around the world, and some of the biggest conservation stories."[2]

On June 25, 2019, Earther was named SAPO's website of the day.[3]

gollark: I've heard it said that there's one group which basically just wants something which works for some set of tasks and can't understand why you would want to go to all the work of configuring a device the way you want it, and another one which wants something maximally customizable to set it up as desired and can't understand why you would buy something which doesn't allow that.
