This is the overall meaning of the entire sentence, not "Saving the Planet". Anyway, the choice is yours:)

when the client was asked about this idiom this was his answer:
"Hi! The whole string says "between home, work and saving the planet, don't you wish you had time for more fun?"

It is a joke - referring to the fact that we are all so busy in life we wish we had more time for fun. This is what the app does - it helps organize your life, to get more done, be more productive then have more free time in the end."
Heba Abed Oct 14, 2012:
I don't think so, Berlant. The meaning of "Saving the Planet" is crystal clear as shown below. I have looked for idioms regarding "Planet" and I found one, which is "To be (living )in anther planet". This idiom means that you do not notice what is happening around you and you behave differently from other people.

انا أعرف المعنى الحرفي, لكن الجملة لها معني استعاري, اعتقد أنها تعني كثرة المشاغل....
