AUSTIN, Texas (April 4, 2013) – In celebration of Earth Month, Whole Foods Market is transforming into a hub for Earthlings – or humans inspired by the earth’s beauty and bounty — to meet up, share ideas and celebrate the planet both in stores and online at EarthlingMonth.com.

From foraging for chufa and re-purposing gourds into lamps to pickling watermelon radishes and powering beer brewing with bikes — Earthlings are encouraged to celebrate the planet’s beauty and what it inspires by sharing their passions via images, tweets and videos.  To join the conversation, visit earthlingmonth.com/#/participate to upload a message, photo or video using Instagram, Facebook or Twitter. Or, simply use the hashtag #WFMEarthling via Twitter or Instagram.
