Earth Day was first held in 1970 to show support for environmental protection. It came after a massive oil spill in California in 1969. The Earth Day Network works towards changing things for the better when it comes to: Climate Action, Science and Education, People and Communities, Conservation and Restoration and Plastic and Pollution. Earth Day 2024 is committed to reducing plastic and is demanding a 60% reduction in the production of all plastics by 2040.

Tuesday, April 22, 2025 is the 55th anniversary of Earth Day. We invite everyone to support Earth Day's 2025 theme: OUR POWER, OUR PLANET™. There are many ways you can get involved and make a difference for our planet on Earth Day and every day.
