[ShareTompkins] news from the global Earth Day Network

[Patricia Haines]

  We clearly won't be alone this coming Sunday in celebrating Earth Day!


Earth Day Network edn at mail.democracyinaction.org
 2012 is off to a great start for Earth Day Network. With your support and
participation, we have been able to mobilize people around the world and
around the corner to take action to protect the environment on Earth Day
and beyond.

*But to take it over the finish line, we need more
help.*<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=hFmcT7QW%2BnjEgaeooYJ1zwdI5CsKlFji>
* [fund-raising appeal]*

We’re working with thousands of event organizers to Mobilize the Earth™ on
April 22. In particular, the overwhelmingly positive response we’re seeing
in the Middle East and India is absolutely incredible. From community
clean-ups and tree plantings to rallies and educational events, Earth Day
Network and its partners are making a real difference in the daily lives of
people all over the world.

In the U.S. this year, Earth Day Network was instrumental in creating the
Department of Education’s Green Ribbon Schools program, the first
comprehensive federal green schools program. Every day, we’re closer to our
goal of greening America’s schools within a generation and making sure
every child is not only environmentally literate but has a healthy learning
environment and a fresh, nutritious lunch.

We’re also making sure that politicians and government officials will be in
attendance at 1,000 local Earth Day events in all 50 U.S. states – to
guarantee that our voices are heard. And we’re putting on Earth Day 2012’s
massive flagship event on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., where
hundreds of thousands of people will call for environmental issues to
become a top priority.
