Did you know?
On April 22nd, 2025, Earth Day will turn 55, with 192 countries and over one billion people around the globe expected to participate. This demonstrates how the diverse Earth Day movement remains as dedicated today as it was back in 1970 to bringing everyone together for a better future. (Find out more facts, here!)
So as Earth Day 2025 beckons, here are some opportunities to attend to various creation care activities!
This year, earthday.org is organising their flagship event ‘Earth Action Day’—a coordinated global event that draws together leaders (whether government or church!), policymakers and the wider community to discuss and implement meaningful solutions for the sake of our shared planet.
The theme for Earth Day 2025, “Our Power, Our Planet,” underscores the vital role communities play in transitioning to renewable energy and sustainable practices. While Earth Day officially falls on April 22nd—which is close to Easter Sunday this year—churches, faith groups, and other communities are encouraged to plan these Earth Day events at any time throughout April.
Earthday.org offers a litany of resources, activities, and opportunities for you to get involved! Here are (just a few!) ways by which you can get involved:
- Host an Earth Action Day Forum: Bring together church leaders and local officials alike to discuss integrating renewable energy within your community. You can register your event on the Earth Day Map, along with any other Earth Day activities you host!
- Make a Commitment: Encourage your church or faith group to expand its use of renewable energy this year.
- Incorporate the Theme: Use ‘Our Power, Our Planet’ theme in your Earth Day initiatives.
How can earthday.org support you in these efforts?
- Virtual consultations and event planning support.
- Assistance in recruiting elected officials for forums.
- Publicity for your event through local and national media, including inclusion on the Earth Day Global Event Map.
- Access to resources such as the theme fact sheet, pamphlets, and organising toolkits.
- Event planning checklists like the Forum Checklist.
