In celebration of the 40th Earth Day, the Clinton Foundation has embarked upon a campaign to Take Initiative for Earth Day by raising awareness about the work they’re doing to avert climate change & promote environmentally friendly policies through reforestation, waste management, building retrofit & energy programs.

This year, as a part of their Earth Day campaign, they’re working to donate 20,000 solar-powered flashlights to those living without electricity in camps in Haiti.  In order to do so, they need 100,000 people to take their Earth Day quiz.

For every person who takes the quiz, $2 will be donated toward buying solar flashlights for people without access to electricity living in camps in Haiti. Their goal is for 100,000 people to take the quiz so that they can donate 20,000 flashlights to internally displaced people in Haiti.  All you have to do to Take Initiative to help Haiti & the environment is take the 10-question quiz.

Through his Foundation’s initiatives, President Clinton addresses global challenges, including climate change, childhood obesity & sustainable development.  Now, he wants you to Take Initiative on Earth Day.

The Clinton Foundation has launched a website, www.clintonfoundaiton.org/earthday, that has four actions you can take to learn more about climate issues & help make a difference.  First, they’ve launched the  climate quiz that lets you test your knowledge about the environment & support victims of the earthquake in Haiti.

Also, you can also get informed about the Foundation’s climate initiatives & sign up to participate in local events in Chicago, Little Rock or New York.

The capstone to their Earth Day campaign is a special Digg Dialogg on April 22 in which President Clinton will answer climate questions submitted through Digg. Get the details about the online event and the other activities on http://www.clintonfoundation.org/earthday.
