|  Earth Day Network’s mission is to broaden and diversify the environmental movement worldwide, and to mobilize it as the most effective vehicle for promoting a healthy, sustainable environment. Our campaigns and programs are predicated on the belief that an educated, energized population will take action to secure a healthy future for itself and its children. Earth Day Network has a global reach with a network of more than 20,000 partners and organizations in 190 countries. More than one billion people participate in Earth Day activities, making it the largest secular civic event in the world. With a strong history of successful environmental education initiatives, Earth Day Network’s Education program has hundreds of free environmental education resources and curricula on our online Educators’ Network.

Earth Day Billion Acts of Green From greening schools to hosting town hall discussions on clean energy investment and green jobs, Earth Day Network leads its network in thousands of Earth Day events and actions worldwide each year. To catalyze global environmental activism, Earth Day Network has chosen A Billion Acts of Green® as the theme for Earth Day 2011. A Billion Acts of Green®–the largest environmental service campaign in the world–inspires and rewards simple individual acts and larger organizational initiatives that further the goal of measurably reducing carbon emissions and supporting sustainability. The goal is to register one billion actions in advance of the global Earth Summit in Rio in 2012. Want to bring Earth Day into the Classroom? Available for free through Earth Day Network's online Educators’ Network, you can view hundreds of pages of background information and lesson plans for use in and out of the classroom, as well as references to multimedia resources and extension activities.
