EARTHDAY is unwavering in our commitment to end plastics for the sake of human and planetary health, demanding a 60% reduction in the production of ALL plastics by 2040. Our theme, Planet vs. Plastics, calls to advocate for widespread awareness on the health risk of plastics, rapidly phase out all single use plastics, urgently push for a strong UN Treaty on Plastic Pollution, and demand an end to fast fashion.
Earth Day, celebrated on April 22, is a global event to promote environmental protection and sustainability. Improving earth life requires collective efforts to reduce our ecological footprint, preserve natural resources, and mitigate climate change. Here are some ways to make a positive impact.
