2020 stepping stone to sustainability

22nd April 2019

#EarthDay will mark its 50th birthday in 2020 with a far reaching campaign that will strive to take ‘climate action to the next level’.

Today’s #EarthDay2019 is already well underway but the Earth Day Network, which organises the initiative, is focused on making 2020 the turning point year in history: when engagement rises to levels impactful enough to set the world on a new course – away from the current downward spiral, which threatens to end with the extinction of the planet and those who call it home.

The Earth Day Network’s user’s guide for 2020 and beyond has a whole raft of steps people can take to make an impact.

Can you use energy more efficiently at home? Unplug items when they aren’t in use, by goods with high energy-efficient standards, and consider making the switch to renewable energy. All of these can help to help reduce your personal impact. Record your Acts of Green here. Help make an impact – submit your actions and help us to reach a Billion Acts of Green!

With a big enough community of activists, every step really will make a difference. Tell your friends and networks about #EarthDay2020

2020 has to be the year of enormous, transformative change for our planet. Demand for climate action announced as #EarthDay2020 theme: https://t.co/df1BqAreQc #EarthDay pic.twitter.com/RgWFxXrIZU
