Earth Day 2024

Green Living

Earth Day is an annual celebration that honors the achievements of the environmental movement and raises awareness of the need to protect Earth’s natural resources for future generations. It is celebrated on April 22 in the United States and on either April 22 or the day of the spring equinox throughout the rest of the world. The first Earth Day took place on April 22, 1970, organized by EARTHDAY.ORG’s founders. Since then, Earth Day has evolved into the largest civic event on Earth, activating billions of people across 192 countries to safeguard our planet and fight for a brighter future.

 


This year, Earth Day 2024 focuses on the theme “Planet vs. Plastics”. EARTHDAY.ORG is committed to ending plastics for the sake of human and planetary health, demanding a 60% reduction in the production of ALL plastics by 2040.
