Celebrate Earth Day with Our Authors!

It’s true that Earth Day should be celebrated every day, not just every April 22, but this time of year, many of our authors see the UN-recognized holiday of Earth Day as an opportunity to remind us what else we can do to support the environment. Here are just two upcoming events that some of our authors are participating in to get involved and speak out on behalf of the planet.

Authors of Hope Beneath Our Feet: Restoring Our Place in the Natural World

Hope Beneath Our Feet creates a space for change with stories, meditations, and essays that address the question, “If our world is facing an imminent environmental catastrophe, how do I live my life right now?” This collection provides tools, both practical and spiritual, to those who care about our world and to those who are just now realizing they need to care. Featuring prominent environmentalists, artists, CEOs, grassroots activists, religious figures, scientists, policy makers, and indigenous leaders, Hope Beneath Our Feet shows readers how to find constructive ways to channel their energies and fight despair with engagement and participation.
