EARTH DAY

 


On April 22th of each year the world celebrates the earth Day 

Today is Earth Day, it is a wake-up call for how our use of oil, coal and gas is driving a global climate breakdown that violates the right to a clean and healthy environment.

This event has its origins in an oil disaster. Just over a year before the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970, a rig five miles off the coast of Santa Barbara, California experienced a massive underwater blowout. Within a day, a huge oil slick covered 75 square miles of ocean.

Some of the climate change solutions are to :

  1. Keep fossil fuels in the ground
  2. Invest in renewable energy
  3. Switch to sustainable transport
  4. Help us keep our homes cosy
  5. Improve farming and encourage vegan diets
  6. Restore nature to absorb more carbon
  7. Protect forests like the Amazon
  8. Protect the oceans and in order to succeed these solutions anyone must be involved and network
