Sign up for Earth Gives 2025 Power Hour events!
Earth Gives Day 2025 is proud to present its Power Hour programs featuring actionable insights you can add to your daily lives. These sessions feature nonprofit leaders who are close to the issues and the solutions. They challenge systems that aren't working, and provide education to improve outcomes for all.
EVERYONE is invited to learn, meet, and connect with others wanting to take action just like you. Power Hours include presentations, Q&A, and breakout sessions to discuss what was learned and what each of us might commit to.
You can register for all four, or join us for one program. They are free. You must register for each program to get that Power Hour’s unique Zoom link. There are variable times, so please look for what works for your schedule. They may last up to 1 hour and 15 minutes to accommodate the discussion breakout sessions. For those on the West Coast, consider rallying your team to listen and learn together.
We would be honored if you shared this page with your friends, family, and work colleagues so that we can all take action to protect ourselves, our families, and our futures.

Power Hour #1 – The High Cost of Fast Fashion: The Necessity of Transparency and Circularity in the Apparel Industry
Featuring Know Your Clothing & Accelerating Circularity
What we wear matters more than we think. The fashion industry is responsible for up to 10% of global carbon emissions, guzzles water, clogs landfills, and floods our bodies and oceans with microplastics. But here’s the good news: your choices can shift the tide. From how you shop to how long you wear and care for your clothes, small changes add up to healthier communities, a cleaner environment, and even better health for you.
Join us for a powerful conversation with two leaders tackling fashion’s footprint from very different angles—one from the ground up, farming cotton and producing sustainable textiles, and the other reimagining entire systems to build a circular future for apparel.
✨ Walk away with fresh ideas you can use immediately, and the inspiration to rethink what hangs in your closet.at well-known brands to now advocate for circularity and reducing waste.

Power Hour #2 – From Land We Love to Legacy We Keep: Protecting Parks and Monuments for All
Featuring
Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition
and
The Coalition to Protect America's National Parks
Our national parks and monuments are more than places on a map—they’re sacred lands, living classrooms, havens for wildlife, and the backdrop of family memories and adventures. But these treasures face mounting pressures, from climate change, encroaching development and government rules.
This conversation brings together two powerful voices: one rooted in ancestral stewardship of sacred landscapes, the other made up of former park professionals fighting to keep America’s parks, monuments and public lands protected. Together, they’ll share what’s at stake and—most importantly—how you can help.
🌄 Whether you’re a hiker, a history lover, or someone who just wants to pass on the wonder of these lands to future generations, you’ll leave with practical ways to stand up for the places that make us who we are.

Power Hour #3 – Hidden Toxins Impacting Our Lives: Steps You Can Take to Protect the Environment and Your Health
Every day, the equivalent of 2,000 garbage trucks of plastic pour into our oceans, rivers, and lakes. Those plastics—and the chemicals that leach from them—don’t just harm ecosystems, they end up in our kitchens, on our plates, and in our bodies.
This session will open your eyes to the hidden toxins in everyday life—from the plastics we cook with to the packaging around our food—and give you practical steps to reduce your exposure while also protecting the environment.
Featuring The Rachel Carson Council and the Center for Environmental Health, you’ll gain insight into the scale of the problem and walk away with clear, actionable ways to safeguard your health and push for solutions that protect us all.

Power Hour #4 – From Plate to Planet: How Our Food Systems Impact Our Health and our Planet
Everyone eats—but what we eat, how it’s grown and even what happens after it leaves our plates shapes both our health and the planet’s.
This session brings together ReFED and Planted Society, two organizations working at the intersection of food, health, and sustainability. Together, they’ll help you see food as more than fuel—food as medicine, food as advocacy, and food as an act of stewardship.
You’ll explore:
🥦 How your choices impact your health and the environment
🌎 Ways to support systems that make healthy, sustainable food more accessible
♻️ Why what happens to food after it’s eaten (or wasted) matters just as much
Come hungry for change—and leave with inspiration and tools to make a difference for your family, your community and the planet.
