Earth Day Network is a driving force steering environmental awareness around the world. Through Earth Day Network, activists connect, interact, and have an impact on their communities, and create positive change in local, national, and global policies. EDN's international network reaches over 17,000 organizations in 174 countries, while the domestic program engages 5,000 groups and over 25,000 educators coordinating millions of community development and environmental protection activities throughout the year. Earth Day is the only event celebrated simultaneously around the globe by people of all backgrounds, faiths and nationalities. More than a half billion people participate in our campaigns every year.

Gaia

If you are a tree, be the best tree that you could be.
Let the hands of time mold your body
Endure the seasons ~ be sturdy.
But a shrub only,
Be the best shrub that flourish
Your sight people will cherish.
But a weed only,
Be the best grass that’s green.
To console the people in pain.
And If fate will not make you any,
Then be just the soil maybe.
A fertile soil where seeds
Of herbs and weeds
And shrubs and trees grow.
Somehow, in them you may live;
You will bring them life ~
Becoming the best that you could be.

If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michaelangelo painted or Beethoven composed music or shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here live a great street sweeper who did his job so well. ~Martin Luther King
And when I die strew my dust-remains in the earth so trees may grow.
