Earth Day 2025 Resources

Earth Day is around the corner: Tuesday, April 22nd. 

Here are some ready resources for you...

• EarthDay.org is always has a wealth of information. In addition to a variety of resources, you can also find Earth Day activities taken around the world, ways to take action, Earth Day statements and imagery to add to your social media, lesson plans, quizzes-toolkits-fact sheets, on the Earth Hub, and more.

• Common Sense Media's "Free Activities for Earth Day and Learning About the Environment" has over 45 links to grade-level activities to investigate by yourself or with students.

• Common Sense Media also has a curated list of 27 climate education tools on their "Climate Change Resources for Students and Teachers"

• Columbia Climate School (from NYC's Columbia University) has a wealth of K-12 lesson plans & resources for teachers. Lots of good stuff here and on their whole website.

• Pick up the book Climate Champions: 15 Women Fighting for Your Future by Rachel Sarah. Written for young adult readers, even adults will learn a lot by these inspiring women. The book is divided into 3 categories: "Challenge the System,""Hold Fast to Science," and "Take a Stand for Justice." One of my favorite environmentalists, Katharine Hayhoe, is Chapter 6! 

• Check out PBS's Carmen's Eco-Farm Adventure interactive for 6th through 12th graders.

• Boom Learning's article entitled Activities That Inspire Environmental Stewardship has some great ideas and activities while also good reasons to start environmental stewardship while kids are young.

• For other resources, be sure to check out Earth Day archives here at Green Team Gazette.
