Get involved for Earth Day

Since the first Earth Day, April 22, 1970, Earth Day has been an annual event for people around the world to celebrate the earth and renew the commitment to building a safer, healthier and cleaner world for all of us.

There are many ways to take action. Calculate your Ecolological Footprint. Change a habit. Help launch a community garden. Communicate your priorities to your elected representatives. The possibilities are endless! Do something nice for the earth, have fun, meet new people, and make a difference.

Earth Day Network provides resources and materials that help organizations around the world build cleaner, safer and healthier communities. Visit the online Resources section for all sorts of organizing tips.
