Hey You, Want to Change the World?: A True Story About What Happens When Someone Does

What if the Earth's natural resources — the oceans, the atmosphere, the minerals beneath the ground — legally belonged to every person on Earth? Not as a theory. Not as a political promise. As an enforceable legal structure that exists right now.
Hey You, Want to Change the World? is the true story of how one American, with $350, four years of self-directed legal research, and an unshakeable conviction that humanity deserved better, built the world's first humanitarian fiduciary — a certified Delaware Public Benefit Corporation and irrevocable trust designed to hold the value of the Earth's natural capital for every verified living human being on Earth.
This is not a book about what should happen. It is a book about what was built, how it was built, and why the moment demanded it. From the collapse of international deep-sea mining governance to the race for the orbital commons, the world's shared resources are being claimed by the few while the many watch. This book is the record of one person who decided not to watch.
Written in a rare second-person voice that puts you inside the founding of a structure designed to outlast its creator, Hey You, Want to Change the World? is part legal thriller, part founding document, and part invitation — to understand that universal rights are not granted. They are built.
We the People. Universal Rights.
