Inspiring a greater bond with nature and good change, this observance brings people together globally to take action to protect the environment. The World Earth Day 2024 theme is “Planet vs. Plastics.”
It aims to draw attention to the serious problem of plastic pollution and its harmful consequences on the ecosystem. For Earth Day 2024, EARTHDAY.ORG advocates for a 60% decrease in plastic production worldwide by 2040 in an effort to eradicate plastic for the sake of the environment.
US politician and environmentalist Gaylord Nelson and Harvard University graduate student Denis Hayes coordinated it for the first time. In order to protect human and environmental health, EARTHDAY.ORG reaffirms its commitment to putting an end to the widespread use of plastics.
By 2040, the organization hopes to reduce plastic production by 60%. The campaign’s urgency is emphasized by Kathleen Rogers, President of EARTHDAY.ORG, who frames it as an essential call to action to safeguard the health of all Earthlings.
