History of Earth Day:
Earth Day was a unified response to an environment in crisis — oil spills, smog, rivers so polluted they literally caught fire.
On April 22, 1970, 20 million Americans — 10% of the U.S. population at the time — took to the streets, college campuses, and hundreds of cities to protest environmental ignorance and demand a new way forward for our planet.
The first Earth Day is credited with launching the modern environmental movement, and is now recognizes as the planet’s largest civic event.
Theme in 2025:
The theme for Earth Day 2025 is “Our Power, Our Planet.” In 2025, we’ll mark the 55th anniversary of Earth Day. This year’s theme highlights the critical need for a shift towards renewable energy sources and the creation of a sustainable future. Let’s come together in our shared global dedication to renewable energy—be it solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, or tidal—to produce clean electricity for all. Click here for more information.
