Carry the EARTH
Using art to connect people and inspire action to heal the earth
What would you do if the earth was in your hands? Carry the Earth is a global environmental art project that inspires individual action to help heal the planet. The process begins with beautiful handmade globes passed from person to person. Each recipient reflects on the Earth, chooses some action to help the planet, and posts their thoughts and deeds on this website and then passes the globe on to someone else. The process continues connecting individuals and fostering acts of environmental healing.

This project is multilayered. It is about each crafted globe and its individual carrier; about the personal stories and cumulative actions of those who carry the globes; about the path of the globe and the threads of connection that link people around the world; about the joy and empowerment of being a part of a healing wave; and finally about a brighter environmental future.
Carrying the Earth reminds us that our home planet is a beautiful and fragile place-a globe we all share, along with the responsibility to protect it. Our many small actions together can bring about a huge change. Ultimately, the destiny of the earth is in our hands.
