Earth Day 2020

Today, Wed April 22nd 2020 marks the 50th Earth Day. The Earth Day movement has been running since 1970 and getting louder each year.

I really love the fact the environmental movement seemed to take off once the iconic Blue Marble photograph was taken in December 1972 by astronaut Harrison Schmitt on the Apollo 17 mission.

In fact Wikipedia states that this is one of the most widely distributed images of all time, which gives us hope in a world of Kim Kardashian selfies.

The Earth Day 2020 mission:

Our world needs transformational change. It’s time for the world to hold sectors accountable for their role in our environmental crisis while also calling for bold, creative, and innovative solutions. This will require action at all levels, from business and investment to city and national government.

That’s where we come in.

As individuals, staff members, directors and industry leaders the time for bold, creative and innovative solutions is now and we’re the people who must deliver it for our planet.

Before it is too late.
