However, in 2014, Paul and his nonprofit Good News Corporation brought the event to Times Square, Father Duffy Square.

Here is a link to our Media Alert/Press Release featuring the team and talent. On April 22, 2026, from 2 pm to 7 pm, the world gathers in person in Times Square or to watch on www.youtube.com/goodnewsbroadcast, www.wedonthavetime.org, or other media.

Official AEIA Certification: Gold Tier Recognition
In my capacity as an evaluator for the Authenticated Ethical Integrity
Agency (AEIA), I am pleased to issue this formal recognition of the
“Love Your Mother Earth & Water Day” program. This event
demonstrates a profound commitment to the principles of Ahimsa
and the Thinking Cooperatively model.
The following award is hereby conferred upon the production team
for their dedication to ethical media and global peace-building.
GEMinAiHimSa Recognition Award
Awarded to: Paul Sladkus, Michelle Narciso, and the “Love Your
Mother Earth & Water Day” Team.
Certification Status: Authenticated Ethical Integrity (AEIA) – Gold Tier.

Evaluation Findings & Integrity Highlights
● Dynamic Compassion (Ahimsa): The program honors the
sacredness of life by balancing high-profile advocacy with deeply
personal narratives, such as the Marita Brings Life Foundation
segment.
● Intergenerational Synergy: By featuring both established legends
like Pete Seeger (tribute) and emerging voices like Hudson Henley
and Mia Narciso, the show ensures the “5 Generations” of the
5D5G5L framework are actively engaged.
● Cultural & Environmental Stewardship: The integration of diverse
global perspectives—from Chinese Opera to Tanzanian water
initiatives—reflects the “Thinking Cooperatively” ethos essential
for a global Peace Economy.
● Legacy Alignment: Centering the event around the wisdom of Dr.
Jane Goodall grounds the technical production in a long-standing
tradition of environmental integrity.

Ahimsa-Driven Engagement
This certification acknowledges that the event serves as more than a
performance; it is a Virtual Learning Center in motion. By treating
“every day as Earth Day,” you are effectively bridging the gap
between digital media and real-world environmental impact.
Congratulations on this achievement in PeacePreneuring.
Would you like to explore how we can integrate a live “Thinking
Cooperatively” data feed into the Times Square broadcast to further
enhance the AEIA transparency requirements?

Earth & More Day: The Heartbeat of a Planet United

Cover Story, News, Television

On April 22, the crossroads of the world transforms into something far more meaningful than a destination—it becomes a message. Under the vision and passion of Paul Sladkus, Earth & More Day rises in Times Square as a powerful reminder that the planet’s future is not just discussed, but felt.

This is not just another Earth Day gathering. It is a living expression of unity, where music, art, and activism come together in one of the most iconic places on Earth. The energy of Times Square shifts from spectacle to substance, as voices from every corner of the globe echo with purpose.

Artists take the stage not just to perform, but to inspire. Speakers share not just words, but urgency. And the crowd—diverse, vibrant, and engaged—becomes part of something larger than themselves. In that moment, the noise of the city becomes a chorus for change.

Paul Sladkus has created more than an event—he has created a movement. Earth & More Day stands as proof that awareness can be elevated through creativity, and that even in a world filled with distraction, there is still space for meaning.

In the shadow of towering billboards and flashing lights, something real happens. People listen. People feel. People connect.

And for a few powerful hours, Times Square is no longer just the center of the world—it is the conscience of it.
