What is your sustainability story?
Earth Day is Saturday, April 22, 2023. The first Earth Day was observed on April 22, 1970, when millions of people across America celebrated by filling their local streets, parks and auditoriums to demand a healthy, sustainable environment. It was clear at that time that cities were riddled with smog, polluted rivers, rampant pollution, and other environmental hazards.
Since then, Earth Day has not only been celebrated around the world by people of all walks of life, but it has recently pushed forth into a lifestyle choice of products that can be reused or recycled to continue to promote the health and well-being of the environment with the hopes of creating a sustainable future for our children. In the past, events, festivals and overall awareness campaigns mark the day, with the hope of preserving the environment.
You might think protecting the Earth is a monumental task, one that can only be performed by superheroes. Believe it or not, there are many things we can all do to make a difference. Sometimes the smallest changes can have the largest impacts.
Let's build a new story together and be superheroes for the future!
