A citywide day of action, hope, and community.
On Earth Day, Redlands turns concern into action to help prepare our community for a hotter, more uncertain future. Join neighbors across town for hands-on projects and learning experiences that help slow the warming, build resilience, and strengthen community—then gather in Smiley Park to celebrate with live music, food, family fun, and information tables on local resources.
A Day of Climate Action in Redlands was initiated by ANCA, organized by a coalition of local organizations, and sponsored by the City of Redlands and other environmentally-concerned organizations and businesses (see below).

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, we become empowered. Here are two ways to be involved:
