On Wednesday April 21st the Blessed Earth Foundation is presenting Hope for Creation, a live simulcast event for the fortieth anniversary of Earth Day. Wednesday’s event will reach all corners of the globe for a conversation about how to honor and protect our planet. There will be more than 40,000 people in 25 countries taking part.

Blessed Earth is an educational nonprofit based upon a powerful mission to preserve the earth for future generations by returning to a simpler way of life. It was founded in 2006 by The Sleeth Family who made the difficult decision to turn away from many of the comforts of the modern world in order to live a life better geared towards reducing their carbon footprint on the planet. Their personal experiences serve as the basis of a movement to embrace faith by being mindful of how our actions affect the earth.
