More About National Earth Day

Each year on April 22nd, National Earth Day campaigns around the globe promote ways to save the Earth.

Since its inception, the organizers promote events educating the public about a variety of subjects including:

climate change
air pollution
water pollution
erosion
recycling
composting
renewable fuels and power
carbon footprints
efficient cars
rain forests
ecosystems

As citizens of the world, we can take actions protecting the Earth, its creatures and their habitats. Greener living can include more fuel-efficient vehicles or windows. It can also include landscaping for your climate reducing the amount of water required.

The ultimate test of man’s conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something
today for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard. ~ Gaylord Nelson – Founder of Earth Day

Numerous green campaigns launch events around the globe each year. Join one near you or organize one that fits your community needs. Be sure to register the event, too!
