Earth Day Origins

Earth Day is an annual event celebrated on April 22nd to raise awareness about the environment and promote actions to protect it. The first Earth Day was held in 1970, and since then, it has become a global movement with millions of people participating in activities such as clean-up campaigns, tree planting, and educational events.

The theme for Earth Day 2023 is "Restore Our Earth," highlighting the urgent need to take action to reverse the damage caused by climate change and environmental degradation. Earth Day reminds us of the interconnectedness of all living beings and the importance of preserving our planet for future generations.

It’s important to remember that your environmental footprint is not only a responsibility but it's also an opportunity. We can all contribute to a brighter, more sustainable future by making small changes in our daily lives.

One of the most impactful changes we can make is transitioning our careers to the climate sector. As Project Drawdown has said, "Every job is a climate job," By working in this field, we can make a positive impact while securing a financially smart future.Let's all take action to protect our planet and make a positive impact. Whether it's reducing our energy consumption, using public transport, making sustainable choices, or transitioning to a career in the climate sector, we all have a role to play.
