Join PennEnvironment in a national campaign for the 40th anniversary of Earth Day called Earth Day Revolution. The ideal is simple. Forty years ago 1 million Americans went to DC and called for better environmental protections. Today, PennEnvironment along with the national environmental community is launching a massive petition drive to collect 1 million petition signatures for energy independence and to help break the political logjam in DC that has halted comprehensive global warming and clean energy legislation.

The goal is to collect 30,000 petition signatures in Pennsylvania, but that will only happen with your help. Click here to sign the petition.
