EDN’s mission is to protect the environment so that all people may live a safe and healthy life, now and in future generations. We work every day through a combination of education, public policy, and consumer campaigns to protect the Earth and demonstrate that there are alternatives to the status quo. Clean energy and energy security for all people are goals that Earth Day Network and ImpactPPA share, and we will demonstrate our commitment not just with words but with action.
This new partnership will move us closer to those goals and will balance some of the inequities in our global energy paradigm. Promoting social justice by empowering communities has long-ranging effects. Healthier people are more able to advocate for themselves and we need every person on Earth to be a strong advocate for a clean environment.
Protecting life on Earth will take a global unified effort combining science, advocacy, volunteerism, and education. Our upcoming projects with ImpactPPA are one small but important piece of the puzzle that answers the question,
how can we save the Earth?
EARTH DAY NETWORK
The first Earth Day on April 22, 1970 activated 20 million Americans from all walks of life and is widely credited with launching the modern environmental movement. Growing out of the first Earth Day, Earth Day Network (EDN) works year round with tens of thousands of partners in 192 countries to broaden, diversify and mobilize the environmental movement. More than 1 billion people now participate in Earth Day activities each year, making it the largest civic observance in the world. For more information, visit www.earthday.org
