Earth Day

What is Earth Day?

For over 40 years, Earth Day – April 22nd – is celebrated in more than 175 countries every year – also in Poland.

This is a day that is intended to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth’s natural environment.

Earth Day in Poland

In Polish cities there were a lot of happenings, meetings, workshops or marches on the streets, where people could show that they care about our planet.

Save the Planet

In some places people could exchange used plastic or glass bottles, batteries or paper into plants, small trees or eco-bags. Some areas of towns were excluded from public transport

This year all activities werefocused on forests. The main slogan was:

„Forest – quite close to us”

How Can We Celebrate Earth Day?

Even small actions can have great consequences! Pick up litter, recycle, turn off the water when you brush your teeth, switch to online bill payments, use public

transportation, turn down your water heater, install energy efficient lights.
