April 22 marks Earth Day, a global call to action for environmental protection and sustainability. This year’s theme, “Our Power, Our Planet” reminds us that real change happens when people work together. It highlights the power of everyday actions—big and small—to protect the environment and support a more sustainable world for current and future generations. Learn more: https://www.earthday.org/
