Earth Day 2023…

EARTH Day is an annual event dedicated to raising awareness, and inspiring action to tackle our planet’s various environmental challenges. This day is also a time to celebrate those who have taken significant action to help the environment, and marks the anniversary of the modern environmental movement in 1970. Earth Day 1970 would come to provide a voice to this emerging environmental consciousness, and put environmental concerns on the front page in the United States of America. Since then, Earth Day has become a global celebration, with stakeholders of all backgrounds coming together to advance sustainability and climate action in commemoration of the event.

Our world needs transformation. It’s time for the people of the world to hold governments and the private sector accountable for their role in our environmental crisis, while also calling for bold, creative, and innovative solutions. This will require action at all levels; from business and investment, to the city and national government.
This year, we rally behind the theme, “Invest In Our Planet”, highlighting the importance of dedicating our time, resources, and energy to solving climate change and other environmental issues. Investing in our planet is necessary to protect it, and the best way to pave a path towards a prosperous future. When we Invest In Our Planet together, we are supporting healthy, happy, and wealthy communities, worldwide.

Whether it’s your time, efforts, or financial resources, there are many ways to invest in our planet.
