Act locally, save globally
Earth Day Network
Earth Day officially lands on Tuesday, April 22, this year. But you're savvy enough to know: Every day should be Earth Day. Visit the Earth Day Network for a history of the holiday's origins as well as resources, tools and campaigns. Learn more about local activities as well as global efforts, such as The Canopy Project, an international mission to protect and preserve large swaths of forestry. Or learn more about Women and the Green Wage Economy campaign, which, as its title suggests, “promotes women's leadership in designing and advancing the green economy.” www.earthday.org.
