Tuesday, April 22, 2025 is the 55th anniversary of Earth Day. To celebrate this milestone, we invite everyone to support Earth Day’s 2025 theme: OUR POWER, OUR PLANET™.
Let’s unite in our collective global commitment to renewable energy, whether it’s solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal or tidal – to generate clean electricity for everyone. By 2035 energy needs in countries such as the US can be met by renewable sources, 365 days a year, which is why we are calling for renewable energy generation, globally, to be tripled by 2030.
Act now — make smart energy choices for your family and demand rapid renewable energy deployment from your governments, industries, and businesses.
This is OUR POWER, OUR PLANET™ #RenewableEnergyNow
Power
