Every Day is Earth Day at Entergy

"As responsible, caring citizens we should all work to become more environmentally conscious so that our children's children can breathe easy in a sustainable future."

J. Wayne Leonard

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Entergy Corporation

It is celebrated nationally on April 22 annually, but at Entergy we are committed to make every day Earth Day through business actions to support the environment. Sustainability isn’t just a fancy word to us, it means being responsible for helping to reduce the carbon footprint we all make – through clean nuclear power, through changing light bulbs and so much more.

Explore the site and make every day Earth Day for your family, business and community!
