New Campaign Launched at Schools Nationwide
Through our No Idling Campaign, EDN seeks to reduce pollution from
idling buses and cars that negatively affect the healthy lung growth
and development of children across the U.S. We have partnered with the
Clean Air Campaign, Inc. to take their success in impacting at least
220,000 people in the state of Georgia to a national level. Through a
generous grant from the UPS Foundation, this campaign provides
solutions through toolkits for administrators and teachers, and
collateral and educational materials for bus drivers and parent
drivers. To learn how to start the campaign at your school, click

New Anti-Coal Ad by Oscar-Winning Coen Brothers
We are making a difference as part of the Reality Coalition! The
Environmental Protection Agency has decided to reconsider carbon
dioxide regulation -- a serious wake up call to the coal industry!
Earth Day Network joined the Reality Coalition because there is no
such thing as "clean coal" and coal burning accounts for over a third
of greenhouse gas emissions in the US. Watch this new ad from the
Reality Coalition directed by Academy Award winners Joel and Ethan
Coen.
