Editing Earth Day (section)

=== Earth Day 2013 ===
The goal of Earth Day 2013 was to personalize the massive challenge that climate change presents while uniting people around the globe into a powerful call to action with the theme: The Face of Climate Change. To illustrate that climate change is not a remote problem for our leaders but is impacting real people, animals, and places everywhere, EDN collected images sent into #faceofclimate and displayed them in a collage at thousands of events around the world from schools to parks to government buildings.<ref name="Earthday-2013">{{Cite web |date=February 22, 2013 |title=Earth Day 2013 – The face of climate change |url=https://www.earthday.org/earth-day-2013-the-face-of-climate-change |access-date=February 2, 2021 |website=earthday.org}}</ref> High level organizations and individuals participated in the campaign, including the Secretary General of the Organization of American States, US Secretary of State, and many more.<ref name="WhiteHouse-2013">{{Cite web |date=April 20, 2013 |title=Presidential Proclamation – Earth Day, 2013 |url=https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2013/04/20/presidential-proclamation-earth-day-2013 |access-date=February 2, 2021 |website=The White House}}</ref>
