Volunteering
For Our Planet
Our climate is changing. If we want to be able to cope, everybody needs to get involved. So UNV’s theme for International Volunteer Day 2009 is Volunteering for our Planet – and we’d like you to join us.
Please go to www.VolunteeringForOurPlanet.org and register your volunteers activity and hours: Tell us how much time you have spend volunteering - online or onsite - for our planet in the six months between World Environment Day, 5 June, 2009, and International Volunteer Day, 5 December, 2009. Every hour Counts.
On International Volunteer Day, UNV will report these hours to the delegates of the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, to demonstrate that people around the world are concerned and are taking action.
Ongoing until April 2010: Earth Day's A Billion Acts of Green
In honor of Earth Day's 40th anniversary in April 2010, Earth Day Network aims to catalyze A Billion Acts of Green worldwide and you can help!

You will be one of a billion people worldwide we hope to activate for Earth Day and counted as a member of The Green Generation, a movement toward sustainability that includes everyone.

The 40th Anniversary of Earth Day
For the 40th anniversary of Earth Day in 2010, the world is in greater peril than ever, but there is also unprecedented opportunity to build a new future. Earth Day has the power to bring about historic advances in climate policy, renewable energy and green jobs and catalyze millions who make personal commitments to sustainability - “A Billion Acts of Green” – mobilizing the power of people to create change by taking small steps in our homes, our schools and our businesses that add up to an enormous collective action.
