Earth Day 2020: Climate Action
Today (April 22) marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day and the theme for 2020 is climate action.
Climate action has been declared the most pressing topic up for discussion. This is due to the enormous challenges as well as the vast opportunities our world faces every day.
Although the COVID-19 crisis is forcing us to keep our distance, that doesn’t mean we can’t use our voice to protect the Earth.
“Climate change represents the biggest challenge to the future of humanity and the life-support systems that make our world habitable,” Earth Day Network shared.
Over the 24 hours of Earth Day, millions of Americans will take part in global conversations to help make a difference. Click here to learn more about Earth Day 2020.
Just a friendly reminder: Every action counts.
