Tomorrow is Earth Day, Wednesday 22 April, when over a billion people in 180 nations around the world, will be focusing on taking action to protect our environment.
Organizers are looking for a billion commitments to do something green, actually doing something rather than just thinking about the problem. The Earth Day commitments form part of a year long initiative tagged "The Green Generation", which leads up to the 40th anniversary of Earth Day in 2010.

Earth Day blog.
