The first Earth Day on April 22, 1970, mobilized 20 million Americans and is often credited with launching the modern environmental movement. 22 years later more than 1 billion people participate in Earth Day activities, making it the largest civic observance in the world.
Earth Day Network works with over 22,000 partners in 192 countries to broaden and diversify this movement. Whether your organization wants to develop recycling programs in underserved neighborhoods or promote green economic policies, celebrating Earth Day with an environmentally-conscious event is a perfect way to rally support for your cause.
