Happy Earth Day 2025: Earth Day 2025 is being celebrated today, i.e April 22, with the theme "Our Power, Our Planet." This year's theme highlights the collective strength of communities, individuals, and nations to protect and restore the planet through actionable, sustainable solutions. The focus is on tripling renewable energy generation by 2030 and promoting a rapid transition to clean energy sources like solar, wind, hydroelectric, tidal, and geothermal power.
Earth Day was first celebrated in 1970 as a small environmental movement, and later grew into a global call to action, inspiring millions to take steps - big and small - to safeguard the Earth's natural beauty and resources. The day aims to inspire individuals, organisations, and governments to work together towards a more sustainable future. With over 1 billion people in 192 countries expected to participate, this event marks a crucial milestone in the ongoing efforts to address environmental challenges and promote eco-friendly practices.
Here are some messages and wishes to increase awareness:
