LA FARGE, Wisc., April 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Move over, Thanksgiving! Just in time for Earth Day, America is sprouting a powerful new holiday tradition called "the Earth Dinner." The paradigm-breaking feast brings family and friends together to pay tribute to the Earth and celebrate the many ways she feeds our bodies, minds and souls.
"People are hungry for meaningful rituals that emphasize community over commerce," said Theresa Marquez, Earth Dinner creator. "The Earth Dinner provides an opportunity for deeper connection, an essential need in a society where parents average only five minutes of quality time a day with their children and everyone eats on the run."
