What is Earth Week?
On April 22nd of every year, the entire world is invited to celebrate Earth Day. It’s the largest environmental movement in the world and aims to diversify, educate and activate the movement worldwide. 🌎In order to make the most of the event, many countries practice Earth Week to extend the time focused on this important cause. This year we will be celebrating from April 16th- April 22nd.
What is the focus for 2023?
The Earth Day 2023 theme is focused on engaging the more than 1 billion people, governments, institutions, and businesses who participate in Earth Day to recognize our collective responsibility and to help accelerate the transition to an equitable, prosperous green economy for all. We are focused on reframing the conversation, accelerating action, and bringing everyone together to understand that this is within our reach if we work together.
Whether you are taking actions virtually or in person - you can join the largest environmental movement on Earth!
"A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people "
Don’t underestimate your power. When your voice and actions are united with millions of others around the world, we can create an inclusive and impactful movement that is impossible to ignore.
