in the promotion of renewable energy, recycling, family farms, saner
agricultural practices, better eating habits, medical self-care, more meaningful

the most far-thinking minds of the day. Mother Earth News concentrates on

The Earth Day Network Founded by the organizers of the first Earth
Day in 1970, Earth Day Network (EDN) promotes
environmental citizenship and year round
progressive action worldwide. EDN is a driving

the world. Through Earth Day Network, activists
connect, interact, and impact their communities,
and create positive change in local, national,

reaches over 12,000 organizations in 174
countries, while the domestic program keeps over
3,000 groups and 20,000 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 mission is to grow and
diversify the environmental movement worldwide,
