Every year on April 22nd, the world unites to celebrate World Earth Day—a global event dedicated to raising awareness about environmental issues and encouraging action for the health of our planet. What started as a grassroots movement in 1970 has now become one of the largest civic observances in the world, involving over a billion people in more than 190 countries.

Why Earth Day Matters

From the air we breathe to the water we drink, our well-being is intrinsically tied to the health of the Earth. Yet, human activity continues to put immense pressure on ecosystems. Deforestation, pollution, loss of biodiversity, and climate change are just a few of the pressing challenges we face.

World Earth Day serves as a reminder that while these issues are vast, our collective actions can—and do—make a difference.

Earth Day 2025 Theme: “Planet vs. Plastics”

This year’s theme, “Planet vs. Plastics,” emphasizes the urgent need to reduce plastic pollution. Single-use plastics, often used for mere minutes, can persist in the environment for hundreds of years, harming marine life, polluting soil and waterways, and entering our food chain as microplastics.
