Earth Day is celebrated on April 22 each year, promoting environmental protection and awareness since 1970. This year’s theme, “Our Power, Our Planet,” focuses on renewable energy and clean electricity by 2030. The first Earth Day was held in 1970, with 20 million people participating in events nationwide. Senator Gaylord Nelson proposed the event to raise awareness of environmental threats, leading to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency and the passing of the Clean Air Act.
Although Earth Day is not federally recognized, it is celebrated around the world. States like Texas and California are leading the way in renewable energy, creating new jobs and cleaner ways to power daily lives. The World Economic Forum predicts that over 10 million new jobs will be created globally by 2030 through renewable energy projects. Celebrate Earth Day by promoting sustainability tips, supporting renewable energy, and raising awareness about environmental issues.
