    SANTA MONICA, CA, November 23, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- If you're having trouble being thankful this year, worried about your own life or the powers that be, why not look beyond our personal problems and give thanks for the air that we breathe and the food that we eat? Why not make Mother Earth the center of our Thanksgiving celebration?

There may still be climate deniers in the world - among the world leaders and sitting across from the table at the Thanksgiving Feast. However, no one wants to breathe polluted air or eat plastic in their seafood (or turkey).

There is more that unites us than divides us. So, this Thanksgiving, say a special prayer for Mother Earth - in our words and in our actions. Take the #EarthGratitude Challenge!

What is the Earth Gratitude Challenge?

For one hour, at any time over the weekend, simply power up the gratitude and power down the grid, getting as close to personal net zero as possible.

Show off your creativity and tag your pics and video with the hashtag #EarthGratitude for the world to see.
