TO MARK THE 55th ANNIVERSARY OF EARTH DAY - EARTHDAY.ORG LAUNCHES EARTH ACTION DAY
The world is approaching irreversible tipping points. Rising global temperatures, toxic pollutants, and crashing ecosystems are pushing the planet to the brink of collapse. Yet too many global political leaders are choosing this moment to roll back critical environmental regulations and crush renewable energy sources.
For Earth Action Day we all must: Arm ourselves with the knowledge to fight back, empowering students, teachers, workers, professionals, and faith communities to demand a sustainable future. Raise our voices to pressure lawmakers to reject rollbacks, expand renewable energy, and end the plastic tsunami engulfing the world. Take to the streets, organizing town halls, cleanups, rallies, and voter drives to build real power. The time for hesitation is past. Earth Action Day is our chance to fight for a livable planet. Before it's too late.

Antonique Smith , critically acclaimed singer, actress, CEO and co-founder of non-profit climate organization Climate Revival, has been named EARTHDAY.ORG, official ambassador for this year's Earth Action Day initiative.
This Earth Action Day , we honor the legacy of the first Earth Day - when 20 million Americans united to demand change. From that collective action, the environmental movement was born, resulting in landmark legislation and a growing awareness that a healthy planet meant healthy people. Whatever you do for EARTH ACTION DAY use our Social Media Kit to amplify, share and repost about your actions - let's make some noise!
Education is the foundation of meaningful environmental action. Earth Action Day provides an opportunity to learn about climate science, renewable energy and the impact of plastic pollution on human health. One million students in the U.S. are already committed to participating in Earth Day events - we are inviting everyone to join. Use these materials to get educated.

Take action by signing our Earth Action Day Petitions & Letters to Congress advocating for renewable energy, reducing plastic production and the protection of climate laws. Write to your elected officials and tell them to prioritize climate action, clean energy, and biodiversity conservation.
"
Earth Action Day is about holding our elected officials accountable. We must not roll back environmental regulations or allow corporations to pollute unchecked or accelerate our planetary crisis. Ensure your voice is heard by registering to vote and encourage others to do the same.
Join or organize a Great Global Cleanup event, already responsible for cleaning up 17. 5 million pounds of trash. Join us in planting trees as we add to the 550 000 we have already planted. Organize a pro-renewable energy event at your local town hall or place of worship to highlight the importance of clean energy solutions. Or attend or host a Teach-In .
