How many days until Earth Day in weeks, weekdays and sleeps

The countdown counts calendar days from today to Earth Day, so on the day before it shows 1. The weeks box splits that into whole weeks and days, the weekdays box counts Monday to Friday (useful for work and school planning, though public holidays are not taken out), and sleeps are the nights left. The timer counts down to midnight at the start of Earth Day in your own time zone.
