Habitat for Humanity ReStore Directory
Habitat ReStores are outlets that accept donated goods for resale. While every ReStore is a little different, most focus on home improvement goods—furniture, home accessories, building materials and appliances. These donated goods are sold to the general public at a fraction of the retail price to help local affiliates fund the construction of Habitat homes within their communities.

The Green Generation Manifesto
As a representative of the human race, organized as the Green Generation, believing that the ignorance, neglect, or contempt of the rights of the Earth are the sole cause of environmental destruction and social unrest, I have determined to set forth in a solemn declaration the natural, unalienable, and sacred rights of the Green Generation so that this declaration, being constantly before all inhabitants of this planet, shall remind them continually of their rights and duties to the world. Therefore, as a member of the Green Generation, I recognize and proclaim, in the presence of Mother Nature, the following responsibilities of the Green Generation and its members.

Get involved with your children's school
Earth Day Network's successful history of working with teachers, PTAs, students and school administrators has led us to develop a long term, national campaign on green schools. Our National GREEN Schools Campaign, in partnership with the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and The Clinton Foundation, aims to green all of America's K-12 schools within a generation! We are achieving this through green school policy reform, green makeovers for schools across the country, two teacher grant programs and resources available on our Educators' Network.
