The theme of the 52nd Earth Day (April 22) is Invest in our planet.
First held on April 22, 1970, Earth Day is an annual day to demonstrate support for environmental protection. It now includes a wide range of events coordinated globally by earthday.org, working to drive meaningful action for our planet across these issues: Climate Action, Science and Education, People and Communities, and Conservation and Restoration, and Plastic and Pollution.
This year, events around the world will bring together 1 billion people in more than 193 countries, with many ways to get involved. These include:
- tree-planting with The Canopy Project, a tree-planting project with which EarthDay.Org has planted tens of millions of trees since 2010
- join or create a clean up: The Great Global Cleanup® is a worldwide campaign to remove billions of pieces of trash from neighborhoods, beaches, rivers, lakes, trails, and parks — reducing waste and plastic pollution, improving habitats, and preventing harm to wildlife and humans. This program aims to continue clean ups every day of the year for a brighter, greener, and cleaner planet.

From EarthDay.Org:
"This is the moment to change it all — the business climate, the political climate, and how we take action on climate. Now is the time for the unstoppable courage to preserve and protect our health, our families, and our livelihoods.
For Earth Day 2022, we need to act (boldly), innovate (broadly), and implement (equitably). It’s going to take all of us. All in. Businesses, governments, and citizens — everyone accounted for, and everyone accountable. A partnership for the planet.
