Global Earth Exchange Day is launching a new approach to environmental activism, one based not on guilt and fear, but on people’s love of nature and their distress when it is damaged. Spend time in ecologically damaged places!
Today, June 19, 2010, people around the world will gather at the kinds of places most people prefer to avoid: clear-cut forests, polluted rivers, urban development, and many more. The aim of the gatherings is not to protest what has been or might be done there to threaten the ecology, but to give people the opportunity to re-establish a connection with places that were once important to them. Global Earth Exchange Day is sponsored by Radical Joy for Hard Times, a nonprofit organization that was founded in 2009 to find and make beauty in wounded places.

Radical Joy for Hard Times introduces a new, more intimate environmentalism for all citizens of the Earth. Together we go to wounded places to bear witness to what has happened, share the stories of our experience, discover beauty even in the midst of wound and waste, and create Acts of Beauty there.
Trebbe Johnson, the founder and executive director of Radical Joy for Hard Times, is the author of 'The World Is a Waiting Lover' and numerous articles on the subjects of nature, spirituality, and mythology.
