The Free World Charter

Founded in April 2011,[7] The Free World Charter is a petition style document of what Turner describes as "ten fundamental principles on which to grow an entirely new world society based on fairness, common sense and survival." On the website, users are invited to endorse each of the ten principles to demonstrate their agreement.

The charter has been endorsed by fifty-five thousand people and has been translated into all major languages.[7] It has publicly been endorsed by the Raelian and Paradism Movements.[8]

Media

Turner was the subject of much media interest during 2013 when he embarked on a round the world trip without using money.[9][10][11][12] He is currently a regular contributor on RTV Marbella's Marbella Now TV and Mi Marbella programmes.[13]
