Earth Day 2025 seeks clean electricity
On Earth Day this year, the theme is; Our Power, Our Planet,' focusing on the world's transition to renewable energy quickly in order to have clean energy by 2030. The responsibility falls on people, the government, and organizations.
According to the aim is to triple clean electricity by the year 2030 and to unite everyone to achieve the cause.
According to the organizers, Earth Day is a reminder of the importance of environmental conservation and sustainability, encouraging everyone to come together and take action for a healthier planet.
Last year, Earth Day's focus was on Planet Vs. plastic that urged everyone to commit to end plastics for the sake of human and planetary health, demanding a 60 percent reduction in the production of all plastics by 2040.
The change that is to be achieved is 'to rapidly phase out all single-use plastics.'
Fast fashion is another aspect that is being highlighted.
According to Earth Day, the fashion industry, particularly the fast fashion sector, has operated with minimal oversight for decades, resulting in a host of environmental damages, ranging from water and air pollution to deforestation, oceanic microplastic contamination, and biodiversity loss.
'Human rights abuses are rampant across the industry's supply chains, with labor exploitation and unsafe working conditions.
The consequences of these practices extend beyond local communities, with profound implications for climate change and global sustainability,' stated Earth
The Earth Day poster was designed by renowned artist Alexis Rockman to mark Earth Day's 55th anniversary.
Rockman's artwork captures Earth Day's 2025 theme, Our Power, Our Planet, with a solar panel rising above a celebratory crowd of people.
'The imagery is designed to invoke hope, combining the beauty of nature with the promise of a cleaner, greener future for all,' stated Earth
