Why count down to Earth Day?

Earth Day on April 22 is the world's largest civic event, with over a billion participants taking part in clean-ups, marches, and awareness campaigns. Counting down to it is a way to turn the date from a distant note on the calendar into a concrete commitment - Something you are actively preparing for.

Make it count

Share this countdown with your school, community group, or workplace as a nudge to plan something for the day. Use the interval timer to run a timed community clean-up with rotation shifts, or the stopwatch to track how long a group litter-pick takes and challenge another group to beat the time next year.

Frequently asked questions

What timezone does the countdown use?

The countdown ticks to midnight at the start of the event date in the viewer's local browser timezone. This means someone in Tokyo and someone in New York both see a countdown tailored to their own clock - Each celebrates when it's actually midnight where they are.

Can I share this page with anyone?

Yes. This URL is permanent and public - Just copy the link from your browser address bar (or use the copy button above) and send it to anyone. They don't need an account or app to view it.

How do I create a countdown for my own event?

Use the countdown creator to name your event, set a date, and pick an emoji. You'll get a permanent shareable link in under 30 seconds. No sign-up required.

I just need a quick timer - Not a calendar date

Use the Countdown Timer for a private countdown by hours and minutes, or the Timer Link Generator to create a shareable link for a specific duration like "25 minutes".
