Tap into the Earth Day Network
Earth Day Network is closing in on its goal of 1,000 Campus Events in April. These
efforts will culminate on Earth Day, April 22nd, with a loud and clear message to
congress. Help get as many people as you can to call Congress at 202-224-3121 to
tell their Representative or Senator that they want tough action on climate change.

Here are some ways you can help:
* On Earth Day, organize volunteers on your campus to help generate calls to
congress. Use banners, tables, posters, or fliers to encourage people to call
while walking between classes. Ask your professors to allow you to make an
announcement before class or get there early and write a message on the board.
* Contribute an op-ed to your campus or local newspaper. Earth Day Network have
templates for you to use so all you'll have to do is fill in the local details
and submit.
* Hand-deliver one of Earth Day Network's celebrity PSA's to your campus or
local radio station. By hand delivering a copy, you will greatly improve the
odds that it will be played!
