It has been over 50 years since the first Earth Day, and our planet is still in desperate need for us humans to act.

Organizations and citizens from around the globe will be working together this Earth Day on issues ranging from reducing plastics, planting trees, climate education, regenerative agriculture, and sustainable fashion.

Hopefully, you have already been working on ways to reduce your impact not just on Earth Day, but every day. Earthday.org is a great way to get started.

If you are thinking about hosting an event this month, please consider registering it on the site. You can also look for events in your area to see what others are doing and what you can participate in. If there are no events in your area, please consider creating one.

Check out this website: https://www.promisefortheplanet.com/make-a-promise/ to find an action you can commit to, then post to your social media platforms so others can join in. The website is not yet completed at the time of this writing, but check it out now and get involved.

Many organizations will be joining us. We hope you will too, and that you will encourage others to do so also.

We can only solve this crisis together. Please join us.
