What was earthday.org formerly called?

earthday.org was formerly called the Earth Day Network.

The Earth Day Network was the nonprofit organization that coordinated campaigns, educational programs, and events connected with Earth Day around the world. Its work helped extend the observance beyond the United States, linking local activities with international environmental campaigns.

Denis Hayes, the national coordinator of the first Earth Day in 1970, founded the Earth Day Network after that event’s success. He later helped expand Earth Day activities internationally, including the large-scale 1990 anniversary campaign, which involved events in 141 countries and helped place environmental issues on the global agenda.

The name change can cause confusion because “Earth Day” refers to the annual observance, while the Earth Day Network referred to the nonprofit organization behind many campaigns. The organization’s current name, earthday.org, reflects its web presence and broad public-facing role. It does not mean that Earth Day itself was renamed.
