Subject: What are you doing for tomorrow?
To:
  Almost 50 years ago, 20 million people across the US lined their cities' streets and demanded that the country takes action to protect our human right to clean air and water.That was April 22, 1970 – the first Earth Day.
Three months later, the US Congress and President Nixon responded and created the Environmental Protection Agency responsible for creating the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and many other laws that we are benefiting from today.
That first Earth Day people were thinking towards the future. They asked, what changes can we make today to ensure that we leave Earth a healthy place for our children to prosper?
Today, we are still asking that question.
On April 22, 2019 it is expected that more than 1 billion people across 192 countries will celebrate Earth Day – the largest civic holiday in the world.
Let's continue fighting for our children and grandchildren and protect this beautiful and diverse planet – it's the only one we've got!
Tomorrow, hundreds of people will play their part in stewarding Puget Sound lands and waters at Duwamish Alive volunteer events across the region. EarthCorps is one of a dozen local environmental organizations who are working together to protect and restore the Green-Duwamish River that empties into Puget Sound near Elliott Bay. We hope you will join us! Find an opportunity to volunteer.
 Do something good for our Earth
EarthCorps invites the community to help restore the lands and waters of Puget Sound at weekly Volunteer Events. The tasks at volunteer events vary, but they typically involve removing invasive weeds like English ivy and Himalayan blackberry and planting native trees.
Volunteer events are open to people of all ages. EarthCorps supplies gloves, tools, and will teach you everything you need to know about the importance of the work you will be doing.
