About this Giving Opportunity
Despite having only 4.25% of the world’s population, the United States accounts for 24.29% of global CO2 emissions. It’s one of the many sobering statistics that underscore the need to tackle the climate crisis starting at home. Earth Day 2023 is April 22, and more than a billion people will use this day as inspiration to make a difference, to speak out, and to champion worldwide change. The continuing theme of Earth Day is “Invest in our Planet” which calls for participation on a massive scale.
“Our world needs transformation. It’s time for the people of the world to hold governments and the private sector 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.” Earthday.org
You could be a part of the change by pitching in on the Great Global Cleanup, or even lobbying your local government.
