Hi,

As fall comes around, the brisk winds bring a refreshing change to the sweltering heat of the summer. However, this relief is only temporary. The summer of 2023 was alarmingly the hottest on global record and, with the progression of climate change, it will only get worse.¹

Climate change is an urgent issue that demands the attention of everyone. One way to address this crisis effectively is through climate literacy and environmental education. When combined with strong civic education, climate literacy and environmental education enhances the opportunities to create jobs, build a more sustainable market, and enables citizens to be mindful stewards of the world.

EARTHDAY‍.ORG is dedicated to fostering a world that engages in the education revolution to save the planet. Join us in the effort to raise climate literacy, build a more sustainable future, and empower individuals to become mindful stewards of our precious planet.

Check out our newly designed website to access invaluable educational resources and be a part of the climate activism movement. 

It is abundantly clear that climate change is a grim reality that will define our future. Recognizing this reality, it is vital that our education systems are robust enough to align with this global issue. Investing in climate literacy and environmental education gives us the tools and knowledge to confront the climate crisis.²

At EARTHDAY‍.ORG, we have prioritized climate and environmental literacy as a means to engage individuals in fostering significant change. We encourage you to make use of the helpful resources we provide for free, including toolkits, curriculum packets, and more.

Be an active participant in the collective effort to combat climate change and protect our planet’s future. 

In solidarity,

Bryce Coon
Director of Education
