The urgency and positive energy created around the original Earth Day (April 22, 1970) helped launch a movement and build momentum that led to the creation of Clean Water Action and the passage of the 1972 Clean Water Act and 1974 Safe Drinking Water Act. Today, this environmental movement is re-energized, increasingly focused on justice (environmental justice and climate justice), and growing rapidly. Many businesses now observe the occasion, but it can sometimes be hard to tell if their calls to action are the real deal.
We hope you will donate today. Here are other ways you can contribute this Earth Month. We have compiled this short list of nine ways you can capture the spirit of Earth Month and keep that positive energy going through year-end and beyond:
