Pioneering Unified Thought & Action Through Farthest Reaching Global Efforts to Date
WASHINGTON, April 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- EARTHDAY.ORG (EDO), the global organizer of Earth Day and largest recruiter of the environmental movement worldwide, announced today the launch of 'Earth Week' in honor of this year's theme: Invest in Our Planet. Consisting of a series of Earth Day Lives and mobilizing the masses through major events in every time zone, Earth Week will pioneer EARTHDAY.ORG's farthest reaching efforts to date by amplifying inspiration and action from April 14th to April 22nd worldwide.
"By engaging governments, businesses, institutions, and the more than 1 billion people who participate in Earth Day annually we can solve the world's greatest problem: climate change," said Kathleen Rogers, President of EARTHDAY.ORG, "There is unlimited opportunity to right the wrongs of past actions and build a new version of society.
