What is Earth Day Network?

Founded by the organizers of the first Earth Day in 1970, Earth Day Network (EDN) promotes environmental citizenship and year round progressive action worldwide. Earth Day Network is a driving force steering environmental awareness around the world. Through Earth Day Network, activists connect, interact, and impact their communities, and create positive change in local, national, and global policies. EDN's international network reaches over 15,000 organizations in 174 countries, while the domestic program keeps over 5,000 groups and over 100,000 educators coordinating millions of community development and environmental protection activities throughout the year. As a result, Earth Day is the only event celebrated simultaneously around the globe by people of all backgrounds, faiths and nationalities. More than a billion people participate in our campaigns every year.

Why Earth Day?

Because it works! Earth Day broadens the base of support for environmental programs, rekindles public commitment and builds community activism around the world through a broad range of events and activities.

I love the sound of the ocean and the feel of the sand and the smell. It relaxes me and brings back so many great memories. I have visited lots of coasts and all of them have a special place in my memories. It’s hard to pick a favorite.

On the Pacific Ocean side Cannon Beach on the Oregon coast has rugged rocks and the rough crashing waves that make an amazing sound. It is very powerful and edgy at times. In the morning it can be very calm with the mist.

California has some beautiful beaches. Some of my favorites are Big Sur. You just have to Google it and you will be amazed at how beautiful it is. Carmel is a very pretty place to visit and to sleep away the day on the quiet laid back beach.










On the Atlantic side there are lots of great places to mention. The Carolinas are lined with amazing beaches. I have not visited any of North Carolina’s beaches yet but that is a must for my beaches to visit list! I have been to the Charleston area beaches and to Hilton Head. The beaches in South Carolina are more of a blue color. St Simons off the Georgia coast is very pretty with the Oak trees inviting down the island streets and then the pier and lighthouse down at the beach. The Florida panhandle has soft white sandy and aqua waters that are very picturesque. Okay I think I need to get back to getting some things done! I feel like I am at the beach already! Thanks for letting me share and I hope you enjoy seeing these beautiful creations that some very talented etsy artists created.
