Every year on April 22, Earth Day marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970.
Today, Earth Day is widely recognized as the largest secular observance in the world, marked by more than a billion people every year as a day of action to change human behavior and create global, national and local policy changes.
Now, the fight for a clean environment continues with increasing urgency, as the ravages of climate change become more and more apparent every day.
By tapping into some of the learnings, outcomes, and legacy of the first Earth Day, EARTHDAY.ORG is building a cohesive, coordinated, diverse movement, one that goes to the very heart of what EARTHDAY.ORG and Earth Day are all about — empowering individuals with the information, the tools, the messaging and the communities needed to make an impact and drive change.
If you would like to take an active part and get involved then you can do so HERE.
It doesn't matter how big or small your contribution is, even if it's simply raising awareness by talking about it to someone or simply making a conscious effort to reduce the amount of plastic you buy, it is all a positive step forwards.
One small change from each person can have a massive impact on our planet.
