Since its inception in 1970, Earth Day has evolved into the largest civic event on Earth, activating billions of people across 192 countries to safeguard our planet and fight for a brighter future.

For Earth Day 2024, EARTHDAY.ORG is committed to ending plastics for the sake of human and planetary health.  The NGO is demanding a 60% reduction in plastic products by 2040 and an ultimate goal of building a plastic-free future for future generations. To achieve a 60% reduction by 2040, EARTHDAY.ORG’s goals are:

(1) promoting widespread public awareness of the damage done by plastic to human, animal, and all biodiversity’s health and demanding more research be conducted on its health implications, including the release of any and all information regarding its effects to the public;

(2) rapidly phasing out all single-use plastics by 2030 and achieving this phase-out commitment in the United Nations Treaty on Plastic Pollution in 2024;

(3) demanding policies ending the scourge of fast fashion and the vast amount of plastic it produces and uses; and

(4) investing in innovative technologies and materials to build a plastic-free world.
