Now in its eighth year, the Earth Day Celebration brings over 4,000 people to a different community in Portland every year for what is probably the country’s largest community-organized, non-TNC (trans-national corporation) sponsored Earth Day Celebration. The Earth Day Coalition is the planning group for the celebration each year and we value and respect the parnterships formed by bringing people together to create a mindful celebration in a neighborhood each year.

We put so much effort into this celebration of localization because we believe global ecological sustainability starts here, at home, with local action, local businesses and local culture. And, as Bill McKibben once said, “The only way to subvert people is to have more fun than they do.”!

The Earth Day Celebration is sponsored by the many volunteers, organizations and businesses who are giving of their efforts to make this a true community project. We accept donations from individuals, non-profits, businesses and agencies according to our Earth Day Donation Guidelines and Sustianability Ethic.
