About Earth Day 2026
Earth Day is observed annually on April 22nd to demonstrate support for environmental protection, conservation, and sustainability. First organized in 1970 by US Senator Gaylord Nelson, the movement mobilized 20 million Americans and catalyzed the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts.
Today, Earth Day is recognized globally by over 190 countries, engaging more than 1 billion people in activities such as tree planting, beach and neighborhood cleanups, environmental policy discussions, and renewable energy campaigns.
In 2026, Earth Day lands on a Wednesday. Tracking the days until Earth Day helps schools, corporations, and community organizers plan environmental initiatives and volunteer projects in advance.
