Make a Difference for Earth Day 2010!

• Global Day of Conversation
  This is a coordinated opportunity for local elected officials to engage their constituents in constructive dialogues about the urgent environmental issues facing their communities. Topics include: energy efficiency, conservation, transportation, economic opportunity through green jobs and clean industry. This Global Day of Conversation will illustrate the commitment of millions to make the natural environment a priority for 2010 and beyond. Contact Eric Harris, Earth Day 2010 political outreach director, at (202) 518-0044 ext. 24 or Harris@EarthDay.net if your community would like to participate.
  
  
• Environmental Proclamations
  Communities may engage their local government in a pledge (binding or non-binding), indicating that they place importance on environmental and/or environmental education initiatives. Please see the template proclamations that highlight the importance of environmental protection and preservation within your community.
  
  
• Environmental Education
  Educate the youth in your community about living in a sustainable environment through the Earth Day 2010 global curriculum. This program chronicles the history of the modern environmental movement. Also, join forces with youth around the world as they provide community service during Global Youth Service Day.
