“If every day were Earth Day, we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in.”— Neil deGrasse Tyson
Earth Day 2025 is April 22nd, and it raises awareness about critically important environmental issues. The theme for Earth Day 2025 is “Our Power, Our Planet”. It emphasizes the collective power to act on climate change and protect the environment, with a particular focus on renewable energy. The goal is to triple the global generation of clean electricity by 2030. We already possess the solutions to create clean, inexpensive, and unlimited energy for the entire planet through renewable solar, wind, and other technologies.
Renewable energy can serve as an international economic revolution by driving innovation across most industries and creating an estimated 14 million new jobs globally. That’s because renewable energy is projected to grow 17% annually over the next 5 years.
You can support Earth Day 2025 by taking the following actions:
- Participate in a tree planting event or plant a tree in your own yard.
- Use alternatives to single-use plastics, such as reusable water bottles, shopping bags, and food containers.
- Turn off lights and electronics when not in use, take shorter showers, and conserve water.
- Walk, bike, or take public transportation whenever possible.
- Upgrade to energy-efficient LED light bulbs.
- Choose locally sourced, seasonal produce and reduce your meat consumption.
- Join a local cleanup event or organize one yourself.
- Choose products and services from local businesses that prioritize sustainability.
- Contact your elected officials and advocate for policies that protect the environment.
- Share information about environmental issues with your friends, family, and community.
- Attend local Earth Day festivals, workshops, or other events.
- If you have access to a garden or yard, create a pollinator garden or a vegetable garden.
This Earth Day let’s commit to harnessing renewable energy to build a healthy, sustainable, equitable, and prosperous future for us all.
