The Mother Earth Project, MEP, is a nonprofit organization founded in 2015 by internationally renowned sculptor and scientist Barton Rubenstein and his family. Our goal is to put moral pressure on policymakers, to make them listen to the scientists and then to take forceful action to limit global warming. Mother Earth Project™ is a people empowerment campaign that encourages communities worldwide to commit to sustainable actions and Sustainable Development Goals filled with daily acts of saving and protecting our planet. Using artwork as the catalyst for bringing people together, MEP encourages schools, communities, climate strikers and BLM protesters to create Parachutes For The Planet®, circular works of art that are a metaphor for bringing the world back to a safe place.
