Frequently Asked Questions
Information about Earth Day/Earth Day Network
When is Earth Day celebrated?
Earth Day is April 22. Because events and festivals usually take

before or after April 22. Many communities also celebrate Earth
Week or Earth Month with a series of environmental activities in
April.
Why
Earth Day?
Because it works! Earth Day broadens the base of support for
environmental programs, rekindles public commitment, and involves a
wide range of the participants.

can I do for Earth Day?
Since April 22, 1970, Earth Day has been an annual event for
people around the world to celebrate the earth and our
responsibility toward it. Volunteer. The possibilities are endless!
Do something nice for the earth, have fun, meet new people, and
make a difference.
And you needn't wait for April 22 to help out the Earth. Earth
Day is every day -- to build a better future for the
environment we all need to be working toward solutions on a
year-round basis.

the world. It is a global network of environmental advocates, Earth
Day event organizers, businesses, city and local governments,
