For over 40 years, Earth Day (April 22) has inspired and mobilized individuals and organizations worldwide to demonstrate their commitment to environmental protection and sustainability. In recognition of the power of millions of individual actions, Earth Day 2011 will be organized around A Billion Acts of GreenĀ®, which inspires and rewards both simple individual acts and larger organizational initiatives that further the goal of measurably reducing carbon emissions and supporting sustainability. The goal is to register one billion actions in advance of the Earth Summit in Rio in 2012. To find out how you and your association can participate, visit
