Earth Day April 22
Nature is our most valuable resource, and we all have a role to play in protecting it. From providing clean air and clean water to protecting our food systems and ecosystems, nature works hard for us. Let’s give thanks to nature this Earth Month with actions big and small that can help the planet.
Where to begin? Whether you’re interested in individual- or corporate-level actions, or something in between, we have put together a list of key dates and ideas to guide the way. Small actions can add up to big benefits for our planet. You’ve got this.

How to Activate
60 Actions for the Planet guide: Explore our fully comprehensive resource for reducing your environmental footprint in a variety of ways and select an action to take on Earth Day. Actions include opting for public transport over driving, choosing reusable products when possible, reducing water use, skipping plastic bags, protecting your local rivers, and more. Download the guide here.
Give an Hour (or more) for Earth: Identify impactful, nature-friendly activities that align with your interests using our online tool, then pledge your hours and take action to become a part of a global movement to create a more sustainable future. Bank hours individually, as a community, or collect hours as a company for a corporate challenge. To maximize hours banked, the campaign will run from March to April 30. Last year, over 1.5 million hours were given for our planet by supporters in 136 countries and territories. Let’s log even more this year!
Corporate Engagement: Create an Earth Month/Day plan for your company and colleagues. Share the 60 Actions for the Planet guide as a resource. Encourage everyone to log their actions into the Hour Bank. Better yet, initiate a contest to see who or which function can log the most hours! Incentivize fundraising through match campaigns or donate-at-checkout programs with WWF. Promote various engagements via social media.
Social Media: Share nature-positive actions and pics via social media (e.g., For Earth Month, I am participating in a local river cleanup. How about you? #GiveAnHourForEarth) and tag friends and connections in your network to encourage them to get involved. It’s a “the more, the merrier” event, everyone is invited!
