Earth Day is an annual event that celebrates the achievements of the environmental movement and raises awareness of the need to protect Earth’s natural resources for future generations. 

This year’s theme is “Invest In Our Planet”, which highlights 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. Find out more about Earth Day here.
