SPECIAL ISSUE - Resilience & Renewal - EARTH DAY '21
Long before climate change became an international movement, engineers were designing technologies and industrial processes to better protect the environment. Today, 51 years after Earth Day's debut, their efforts can be seen everywhere from electric cars to sensor-studded farms that use minimal fertilizer. Inspire your green team this April 22 with eGFI's Earth Day collection of activities, features, and other resources. Trash talking allowed!

BONUS: Watch Earth Day 2021 live April 22 on YouTube. Virtual global celebration begins at noon EDT.
