MEET ALEXIS ROCKMAN
THE OFFICIAL EARTH DAY POSTER, 2025
Alexis Rockman has created a truly special poster that I hope every school, library, and business will display to inspire people to support Earth Day 2025 and our theme backing renewable energy— Our Power, Our Planet.” said Kathleen Rogers, President of EARTHDAY.ORG. “This poster serves as a powerful reminder that we have energy options, and renewable energy can fuel our future without harming the planet. We invite everyone to join this movement and take action on Earth Action Day.
EARTHDAY.ORG is thrilled to announce that renowned artist Alexis Rockman has created the official Earth Day 2025 poster, marking our 55th anniversary.
Rockman joins a distinguished roster of artists who have helped shape Earth Day’s visual identity over the years, contributing their artistic vision to raise awareness for environmental causes.
Earth Day is THE symbol of all that is great about the environmental movement that I grew up inspired by! Since I saw the first Earth Day poster by Robert Rauschenberg in 1970, it has always been at the top of my bucket list – doing the Earth Day 2025 poster is literally a dream come true!
This year, we are especially proud that Alexis Rockman has created a stunning Earth Day poster that ties directly into our 2025 theme: Our Power, Our Planet. Which is advocating for a tripling of global renewable energy generation by 2030 — by creating electricity through solar, wind, hydro, tidal, and geothermal.
Rockman’s artwork beautifully features a solar panel surrounded by lush nature and a clear sky, symbolizing the renewable energy future we must embrace to safeguard both planetary and human health. His work continues his legacy of blending artistic expression with a deep understanding of environmental science, urging us all to take immediate action for a sustainable future.
Rockman, who is based in Warren, Connecticut, is an environmental activist who began making paintings and works on paper to build environmental awareness in the mid-1980s.
THE POWER OF POSTERS
Rockman is now part of Earth Day’s history. For the inaugural Earth Day in 1970, renowned artist Robert Rauschenberg created a powerful poster featuring a bald eagle, flanked by images of endangered species, deforestation, and pollution—a stark call to action. Rauschenberg’s design set the tone for Earth Day’s commitment to environmental advocacy, blending art with urgent environmental messages.
“Humans are an almost entirely visual species and art can and should convey complex and highly emotional images that go directly to our hearts. After listening carefully to the Earth Day team, I felt this image of a forest and a diverse crowd of people reflected in a solar panel, conveyed the idea of solar power being the best direction collectively for our needs with the least impact on the rest of the planet. There is still time to make a difference.”
