Earth Day Network’s mission is to “broaden and diversify the environmental movement worldwide and to mobilize it as the most effective vehicle to build a healthy, sustainable environment, address climate change, and protect the Earth for future generations.”
According to the Earth Day website, the first Earth Day occurred in 1970. The movement gave an organized voice to an emerging consciousness, and began the work of channeling our attention toward environmental issues. Earth Day is entering its 47th year and continues to inspire and motivate people to action.
Earth Day is to be celebrated on April 22nd and this year’s campaign is “Environmental and Climate Literacy”.
The Earth Day Network states that “Education is the foundation for progress. We need to build a global citizenry fluent in the concepts of climate change and aware of its unprecedented threat to our planet. We need to empower everyone with the knowledge to inspire action in defense of environmental protection.
Environmental and climate literacy is the engine not only for creating green voters and advancing environmental and climate laws and policies but also for accelerating green technologies and jobs.”
At Ed4Career, we hope to set a standard for sustainable education practices in our industry. We believe that we have a responsibility to take care of our planet and preserve its beauty and natural resources for future generations. In addition to maintaining environmentally responsible business practices, we promote balanced and healthy living for our staff.
