First launched as an environmental awareness event in the United States in 1970, Earth Day is celebrated as the birth of the environmental movement.

For over 30 years, on April 22nd, millions of people have united to heed this urgent call to action and celebrate the environment. Earth 911 has taken the mission of Earth Day and made it an everyday opportunity by offering information and resources available to protect the environment in every community in the United States and Canada.
