EARTHDAY.ORG Launches Six-Month Countdown To Earth Day

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- EARTHDAY.ORG, the global organizer of Earth Day, is celebrating its half birthday. Each year, EARTHDAY.ORG highlights the most pressing environmental issues of our time. This year's Restore Our Earth campaign demands bold action to restore natural systems and implement emerging green technologies. From reforestation to biodiversity conservation to global cleanups and regenerative agriculture – EARTHDAY.ORG is spearheading initiatives both local and global to combat the devastation of the planet.

With six months to Earth Day, EARTHDAY.ORG is asking folks around the globe to pick up at least one piece of trash in order to help the earth heal from widespread pollution. Send a photo picking up trash along with your name to [email protected], and you could be featured in an upcoming Earth Day Heroes feature! If everyone participates in this small act, it can have an enormous impact.

"Fifty years ago, millions demanded action to protect the environment in the United States. Today, we're a global force who will not stand for inaction from our leaders on climate change. We are working with partners and volunteers around the world to make an effort toward climate restoration on a global scale," said Kathleen Rogers, President, EARTHDAY.ORG.
