An opportunity to learn, connect, and take real action—together.
Imagine! Hundreds of people from across Redlands gathering at locations all over town to take part in educational and hands-on projects that are hosted by local groups wanting to help slow the warming, strengthen our neighborhoods, and prepare our community for more severe climate impacts. Then coming together at Smiley Park to celebrate the earth with live music, information tables, family activities, and food.
The first Earth Day, 1970 at the University of Michigan
The first Earth Day in 1970 ignited a movement. Today, with climate impacts accelerating, the need for community action is greater than ever.
In 2024, carbon emissions hit an all-time high.
Heat, drought, and extreme weather are increasing.
Scientists warn we are fast approaching a dangerous global temperature rise.
But we can soften these blows and make meaningful change—starting right where we live. Earth Day in Redlands is our chance to show what community-based climate action looks like.
Climate change can feel overwhelming—but when we act together, it becomes empowering.
As a participant, you will:
Meet others in the community taking climate action
Learn simple steps to reduce GHG emissions
Discover ways to prepare for heat, drought, and other climate impacts
See firsthand what it will take to build a more climate-resilient community
As a Host, you make all this possible. You will:
Connect with others in your organization or group who care about our future.
Together you will learn more about the climate crisis and ways to address it.
You will acquire new knowledge and skills as you choose and plan your project.
You will experience the joy of working together to build a better future.
Whether you participate as a Project Host or a Participant, you don't need to be a climate expert--just someone who cares about Redlands’ future and wants to make a difference.
Learn more about local climate impacts and our vision for a climate-resilient Redlands.
