Take the Earth Pledge!

How it works:

1. Submit your Earth Pledge to help the environment this April.

2. Check out the Earth Pledge Guide if you need more information to help you complete your pledge.

3. Check back at the end of April to tell us how you did.

The first 1,500 individuals to submit their results will receive a grocery tote or tree seedling!

Thank you for participating in Earth Month 2008!

Between groups, individuals, and schools, over 8,400 participated in the Earth Pledge - PLUS even more volunteers who did senior yard projects and attended the many activates throughout the month too! Our community made a huge difference and Earth Month had it's highest participation to date, all thanks to people like YOU!
