Hello there, fellow earthlings. It’s officially Earth day, a very beautiful concept and celebration, bringing SO much awareness to a vast majority of countries and people across the globe. Recently, there has been a HUGE and sudden urgency for everyone to do more, more and MORE to help our planet mitigate Climate Change, improve Biodiversity and stop endless Pollution. Eco-anxiety[1] (which may sound ludicrous) is very much real and many of us are feeling it…
This Earth Day, we’re encouraging you to challenge yourself to explore, learn and begin to change small habits that may slowly snowball into other aspects of your life! We’re celebrating by championing some of the many inspirational people, organisations and brands who are working collaboratively for the benefit of the Planet. They present facts we’re sure you’ll find easily digestible and beyond informative. So be sure to sprinkle some of the below into your day, upcoming weeks and months… Every day is Earth Day!

He is like Marmite… You either love him or hate him, there is no middle ground. However, we must agree that the work he has done for the world has been incredible – from eradicating Polio[1] in Africa to working on COVID-19 vaccines, to writing about a book on ‘How to avoid a climate disaster’. Yes, his ideas can be controversial, but perhaps that’s just what’s needed moving forward?

Be sure to listen to the debate and be part of the conversation by forming your own opinion…

Earth day was founded by Senator Gaylord Nelson, having been inspired by an outbreak of USA protests in the 1960’s – with the intention of educating individuals about environmental issues[1]. Today, 51 years later, it is perhaps fair to say, we may have lost our way. BUT…it is never too late to learn new habits, skills and continue to evolve as humans. This year’s Earth Day theme is “RESTORATION” [2], helping to tackle issues such as air quality, insects’ population, plastic pollution and so much more! You can head over to the Earth Day Network’s website for more information.
Start following, explore new ways, develop new habits and keep on learning. Together, by taking these little steps we can go a long way. Feel free to re-post this article, share ideas and be sure to make every day, Earth Day.
