What can you do for Earth Day? The answer is: anything that is meaningful to you and for the environment! Each year, Earth Day inspires action in communities around the world. All around the world, people take part in Earth Day events and actions, which educate, spread awareness and push for tangible change. Every voice counts; every action matters. Earth Day is based on the simple philosophy that ordinary people, acting together, can achieve extraordinary things.

Earth Day and every day is a time to act to protect our planet. What are your plans for Earth Day? Do you have an event you wish us to promote, recruit volunteers or post a press release? And don't forget to send us recent outreach events or habitat programs you wish to highlight.

WHC provides additional tips and activities to start your Earth Day projects. Send WHC your event to feature here!

Earth Day Pledge

This Earth Day, I pledge to:

Reduce and Reuse - I will use "Smart Shopping" techniques when at the store, buying items that have little or no packaging and choosing items that can be used over and over.

Recycle - Wherever I am (on the road, in the park, etc.), I resolve to look for recycling bins and/or carry my recyclables back home.

Buy Recycled - I will purchase at least ne recycled-content product on a regular basis (e.g., computer paper, paper towels, toilet paper, plastic garbage bags).

Compost - I will compost at home to remove organic waste from my garbage, while making my garden lush, beautiful and healthy.
