Dear College of Education Community,
Tuesday, April 22nd, is Earth Day, a time to be mindful that we are caring for ourselves when we care for the earth! The first took place on April 22, 1970 and activated 20 million Americans from all walks of life. Those peaceful demonstrations across the country are widely credited with launching the modern environmental movement. Today, more than 1 billion people in 192 countries participate in Earth Day activities each year. The theme for Earth Day 2025 is - everyone around the globe is invited to unite behind renewable energy and to triple the global generation of clean electricity by 2030. Take action to help achieve this goal by educating, advocating and mobilizing.
Events are available all week all over the world. If you are looking for a local event, go to The Guide to Earth Day Events in Los Angeles . As just one example one of LA's most popular botanical gardens, is hosting its annual celebration of native plants as part of its weeklong observation of Earth Day. View displays created by Descanso horticulture staff, including majestic oaks. Free with admission, no registration required.
