This month’s Like Minded Organization (LMO) Spotlight goes to EARTHDAY.ORG.
EARTHDAY.ORG’s MISSION
To diversify, educate and activate the environmental movement worldwide. Growing out of the first Earth Day in 1970, EARTHDAY.ORG is the world’s largest recruiter to the environmental movement, working with more than 150,000 partners in over 192 countries to drive positive action for our planet.
EARTHDAY.ORG’s VISION FOR CHANGE
Our world needs transformational change. It’s time for the world to hold sectors accountable for their role in our environmental crisis while also calling for bold, creative, and innovative solutions. This will require action at all levels, from business and investment to city and national government.
That’s where you come in: As an individual, you yield real power and influence as a consumer, a voter, and a member of a community that can unite for change.
Don’t underestimate your power. When your voice and your actions are united with thousands or millions of others around the world, we create a movement that is inclusive, impactful, and impossible to ignore.
Every Earth Day can drive a year of energy, enthusiasm, and commitment to create a new plan of action for our planet.
CISV and Earth Day
CISV has historically recognized Earth Day as an educational opportunity and a call to action, mostly in the Junior Branch but frequently engaging adults too in special activities. In recognition of the day, the Junior Branch has organized park and stream cleanups, tree planting, recycling events along with many other creative efforts. CISV USA wishes to recognize the annual collective efforts of the various chapter Junior Branch’s in educating and inspiring action in this key area of Sustainable Development.
This year’s Earth Day theme is “Invest in our Planet“. The Earth Day website is a wealth of information on problems, solutions, educational materials and promotional and activity toolkits.
