Simple Acts of Green
About Fresno Earth Day
Fresno Earth Day (FED) is a local initiative of Earth Day that celebrates global environmentalism. This year, we are celebrating with the theme "A Billion Acts of Green" - the largest environmental service campaign in the world - to inspire and reward simple individual acts and larger organizational initiatives that further the goal of measurably reducing carbon emissions and supporting sustainability.
Mission
The mission of Fresno Earth Day is to inspire people to make changes in their daily lives to improve the health of our valley and planet. Through collaboration with partner organizations, businesses and individuals, Fresno Earth Day promotes education, networking, individual and collective action, and celebration.
FED 2012 is put together through the efforts of the Fresno Earth Day Coalition.

About Earth Day
The first Earth Day, on April 22, 1970, activated 20 million Americans from all walks of life and is widely credited with launching the modern environmental movement. The passage of the landmark Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act and many other groundbreaking environmental laws soon followed. Growing out of the first Earth Day, Earth Day Network (EDN) works with over 22,000 partners in 192 countries to broaden, diversify and mobilize the environmental movement. More than 1 billion people now participate in Earth Day activities each year, making it the largest civic observance in the world.
