Unlike other environmental programs that have focused on returning the earth to its pre-industrial state 

or repairing the damage that humans have done to it, Earth911 has adopted a proactive solution to 

today’s environmental issues. 

Earth911’s mission is to empower the public with resources specific to their community, in order to 

improve quality of life. Large-scale sustainable prevention is optimum for the earth’s continued health, 

but Earth911 understands that these programs also come with astronomical costs. Through public and 

private sector partnerships, Earth911 has been able to share resources with the American public, all in an 

eort to assist them in making the world a better place, without breaking the bank. 

Readers can tap into this invaluable resource right on the Website’s homepage, or by calling the toll-free 

number 1-800-CLEANUP to receive information about community-specific environmental conditions and 

eorts to improve it. This service is provided at no cost to the user or taxpayer. 

Community-specific information about recycling centers, green shopping, household hazardous waste, 

composting, energy conservation and more is accessible via both the Website and toll-free hotline.

Earth911 looks forward to partnering with the US Environmental Protection Agency and other federal, 

state, and local agencies to provide information on real-time air pollution, volunteer opportunities, 

renewable energy, and more. At Earth911, every day is Earth Day.
