April 22, 2025 marks the 56th anniversary of Earth Day—a day that reminds us of our responsibility to the planet. From deforestation and over-industrialization to marine environmental damage, our Earth faces big challenges. But the clear message is that change is possible when we come together!
According to the World Meteorological Organization, 2024 was the warmest year on record with global temperatures reaching 1.55 ± 0.13 °C above pre-industrial levels. Recent data highlights that from 2022 to 2023, annual mean carbon dioxide levels in the global atmosphere rose by 2.3 parts per million—a trend that has persisted since 2012. These figures underscore the urgency to act now.
This year's Earth Day theme, "Our Power, Our Planet," calls on everyone to unite around renewable energy and triple clean electricity by 2030. Whether you're passionate about environmental activism, a young entrepreneur, or simply care about our future, Earth Day 2025 invites you to be part of the change. Let’s turn up the volume on sustainability—because when we unite, our power truly becomes our planet! 💚🌍
