Hi,

Earth Day is far from over.

As the sun sets on April 22nd, we know that we have our work cut out for us. Every year, Earth Day inspires new energy in the environmental movement and attracts millions more to the cause — but we need to keep that momentum going.

This is the year we make every day Earth Day. Will you help us make this a reality by becoming a sustaining member with an annual gift?

Businesses. Governments. Individuals. This year’s Earth Day invites everyone to Invest In Our Planet, in every way we can, to survive the effects of climate change and protect our home. A partnership for the Earth. 

We know that our movement needs more than talk — we need action. Action from businesses to commit to sustainable practices and innovation, from governments to set meaningful environmental legislation and incentives, and from the grassroots to demand our leaders do what they promised. 

EARTHDAY‍.ORG is leading the charge in these campaigns and more with advocacy, mobilization, and education. Our mission is to drive the world’s largest environmental movement to local action that has global impact. 

Just a few examples from our campaigns:

• We’ve planted tens of millions of trees through The Canopy Project, selecting areas with an urgency to protect biodiversity from threats of climate change or environmental disasters, and towards the development of the local community. We’ve also secured additional large-scale reforestation commitments from international Forest Services or Interior Departments in connection with fulfilling their Paris Agreement Nationally Determined Commitments.
• Our flagship volunteer program, The Great Global Cleanup, attracts millions of people to the environmental movement (and cleans up millions of pounds of trash) through what is often the first action many take on the road to activism. 
• We've also engaged millions in our End Plastics Pollution campaign, successfully advocating around the Global Plastic Treaty (the most significant multilateral environmental deal since the Paris Agreement), pressing elected officials in support of legislation like the Break Free From Plastics Act, and creating toolkits, fact sheets, advocacy packets, and Earth Day Live broadcasts on the topics.
• We continue to drive the conversation around Climate and Environmental Literacy globally all year long. Our climate literacy campaign, now embraced by over 450 million people, teachers, trade unions, faith groups, and economists, has made great strides, achieving one of the few agreements at the Glasgow COP while more and more countries are slowly adopting climate education as a key component to building their own green economies. 
• Our Biodiversity campaign had a major recent success when a federal court restored protections for gray wolves under the Endangered Species Act after they were removed by the Trump administration in 2020. EARTHDAY‍.ORG, in partnership with several other groups, filed an amicus brief which convinced the courts that removal of wolves from the ESA-protected list was an illegal maneuver that caused an urgent threat to their survival across their historical range. 
• Through our Fashion for the Earth program, we have advocated for and supported legislation and global agreements on fashion industry transparency and sustainability, and spread awareness of the waste management issue systemic to fast fashion.
• And we continue to support many local communities most at risk around the globe, such as our training program to build efficient cookstoves for the rural communities in the Sunderbans, reducing the exposure of people — specifically women and children — to indoor pollution due to cooking on traditional cookstoves.

From reforestation to cleanups to driving awareness, the Earth Day movement grows every year. But we can’t do this without your ongoing support. It’s going to all of us, all in. We can do this, together!

Help us fight for our future by becoming a member today.

For tomorrow,

Kathleen Rogers
