| Description | Founded by the organizers of the first Earth Day in 1970, Earth Day Network (EDN) promotes environmental citizenship and year round progressive action worldwide. Our mission is to build broad-based citizen support for sound, workable and effective environmental and sustainable development policies for all.
Earth Day Network is a driving force steering environmental awareness around the world. Through Earth Day Network, activists connect, interact, and impact their communities, and create positive change in local, national, and global policies. EDN's international network reaches over 12,000 organizations in 174 countries, while the domestic program keeps over 3,000 groups and over 100,000 educators coordinating millions of community development and environmental protection activities throughout the year. As a result, Earth Day is the only event celebrated simultaneously around the globe by people of all backgrounds, faiths and nationalities. More than a half billion people participate in our campaigns every year.
Earth Day Network's programs keep its partners on the forefront of the environmental movement. EDN continues to over-come global challenges by maintaining the following set of values: Building Alliances - EDN connects and partners with organizations and agencies to work towards common goals of public and diverse involvement in environmental policy; Encouraging Citizen Action - EDN promotes action around specific environmental issues and provides resources, tools and direct assistance for implementing successful events and campaigns; Improving Environmental Education - EDN offers tools for integrating a broad set of environment, health, and community development issues into core curriculum.
By continuously developing progressive campaigns and programs while remaining an inclusive organization, EDN has helped to create a healthier, safer world. |
