Earth Day 2024
Earth Day, celebrated annually on April 22, is a global event that promotes environmental protection. Originating in 1970, it has evolved into the largest civic movement globally, mobilizing over 1 billion people across 192 countries to protect our planet and advocate for a brighter future.
This year's theme is "Planet vs. Plastics," with EARTHDAY.ORG demanding a 60% reduction in plastic production by 2040.
The focus is on raising awareness about the health risks posed by plastics, phasing out single-use plastics, advocating for a strong UN Treaty on Plastic Pollution, and ending fast fashion.
On Earth Day 2024, governments and NGOs will gather in Ottawa to negotiate the terms of the United Nations Global Plastic Treaty.
Addressing plastics collectively is crucial to addressing the health risks to life on Earth. Climate education plays a crucial role in combating the climate crisis, promoting environmental literacy and civic engagement.
Individuals, businesses, governments, and the private sector must unite to combat climate change, protect biodiversity, and preserve ecosystems.
Join us in the fight for a sustainable and thriving future.
