Earth Day Turns 55: Why Science Says the Planet Needs Us More Than Ever 🔬🌱
This year marks the 55th anniversary of Earth Day—a powerful reminder of our shared responsibility to protect the only home we have. What began in 1970 as a bold environmental movement has grown into a global call to action, uniting over a billion people each year to stand up for the planet. As we reflect on over five decades of progress, challenges, and resilience, this milestone invites us not just to celebrate, but to recommit—to cleaner air, greener energy, and a more sustainable future for generations to come.
