Planet vs. Plastics
Earth Day 2024 Theme Announced
Washington, D.C. - July 31, 2023 - EARTHDAY.ORG, the global organizer of Earth Day, has announced that the theme for Earth Day 2024 will be "Planet vs. Plastics." The theme highlights the urgent need to address the global plastic pollution crisis, which threatens the health of our planet and its inhabitants.
Earth Day is celebrated annually on April 22nd to raise awareness about environmental issues and promote action to protect our planet. This year, the "Planet vs. Plastics" theme will focus on reducing the production and use of single-use plastics, which account for a significant portion of plastic pollution.
Campaigners are calling for a 60% reduction in single-use plastics by 2024. To achieve this goal, they are urging governments, businesses, and individuals to take action. Governments are being asked to implement policies that reduce plastic use, such as bans on single-use plastic bags and straws.
How to Participate in Earth Day 2024
The "How to Do Earth Day 2024" toolkit provides practical guidance and actionable steps for everyone to participate in the environmental event. Individuals can reduce their plastic use by bringing their own reusable bags to the store, avoiding single-use plastics such as straws and plastic utensils, and recycling plastic waste properly.
Businesses can reduce their plastic footprint by switching to reusable packaging, offering reusable straws and utensils to customers, and recycling plastic waste. Governments can implement policies that reduce plastic use, such as bans on single-use plastic bags and straws, and invest in recycling and waste management infrastructure.
By working together, we can create a more sustainable future for our planet and its inhabitants. Join the "Planet vs. Plastics" movement and make a difference on Earth Day 2024.
