About Earth Day New York
Earth Day New York (EDNY) was founded in late 1989 by a broad coalition of environmental groups to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Earth Day in New York City. In 1990, Earth Day New York mobilized two million people to attend Earth Day's 20th Anniversary events — the Earth Rising Ceremony in Times Square, the Environmental Exposition and Cultural Festival on Sixth Avenue and a major concert in Central Park featuring the B-52s, speeches by Governor Cuomo and Mayor Dinkins among many others. For the 25th Anniversary in 1995, they organized diverse arts and educational events including The Parade for the Planet, The Giant Earth Projections and an International Poster Exhibition. For the 30th Anniversary, a vast environmental festival was presented in three different venues (Battery Park, Battery Park City and the World Trade Center.) For the past seven years Earth Day New York has hosted EarthFair at Grand Central, a two?day festival of art, music and the environment on Vanderbilt Avenue and in Vanderbilt Hall inside the majestic Beaux-Arts Terminal. Earth Day New York is a low-overhead, broadly educational non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that promotes environmental awareness and solutions through a three-pronged program: 1) involving schools, teachers and students through the Earth Day Education Program; 2) educating public and private policymakers through conferences and publications; and, 3) involving the general public in annual Earth Day events.
