The Earth Month Ecochallenge attracted thousands of participants this year, helping translate “Earth Day intentions into impactful actions and lasting habits.” During the challenge, people and organizations committed to foster and reinforce #ecofriendly habits. While those Earth Month challenges are nearly complete, you can join the challenge at any time in an effort to spur collective behavior that secures a better future. One easy action to launch your efforts is to #recycle used goods by making a tax-deductible #donation to ClothingDonations.org, which will resell them to fund valuable #veterans programs. #EarthDay2025

Take Action on Earth Day 2025
It’s Earth Day 2025 — as it should be every day, the Nature Conservancy says. You can celebrate by making a difference in fighting the impacts of invasive species, the aggressive plant and animal species that crowd out native species and destroy habitats. You can speak out against plastic pollution, which contaminates food, drinking water and the human body. And you can support policies that promise to increase renewable energy sources such as solar or wind to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow climate change. Make your voice heard! We only have one planet to call home, and you can keep it #clean and #sustainable. #EarthDay2025
