Ontstaan in 1970 in de USA. Inmiddels is het Earth Day Network uitgegroeid tot een wereldwijd netwerk van mensen en organisaties die zich inspannen voor een beter milieu, want dat weet u vast nog wel: Een beter Milieu begint bij jezelf.
For the 40th anniversary of Earth Day in 2010, the world is in greater peril than ever, but there is also unprecedented opportunity to build a new future. Earth Day has the power to bring about historic advances in climate policy, renewable energy and green jobs and catalyze millions who make personal commitments to sustainability – A Billion Acts of Green™ – mobilizing the power of people to create change by taking small steps in our homes, our schools and our businesses that add up to an enormous collective action.
Earth Day 40 is a pivotal opportunity for people, corporations, and governments to join together to create a global green economy. Our coordinated efforts now will be recognized by future generations as a turning point.
