About Earth Day
Earth Day is the world's largest environmental observance, first held in 1970 and now mobilising around a billion people across nearly 200 countries. It has become a cornerstone of the modern environmental movement and a focal point for climate action.
The next Earth Day is marked on 22 April with clean-ups, campaigns, education and climate events around the world. Each year adopts a global theme to focus attention and drive collective action.

How to take part
Pick one visible action rather than trying to do everything:
- Join a cleanup, planting, repair, reuse or climate-awareness activity if one is available nearby.
- Use the day to make one household, school or workplace habit easier to keep after the day is over.
- Share specific environmental information instead of vague slogans.
- If organising something, make it practical: time, place, supplies and a clear action.
