Earth Month 2024

Earth Month has arrived!

To help everyone get in the spirit of helping the planet, we have put together a few ideas on how we can all participate. As well as posting a tip a day on our social channels internationally, we have put together this page to help everyone be informed and up to date, both in our professional and personal lives. 

What is Earth Month? 

Earth Day began in 1970 and since then, has become a global celebration in honor of our planet, Earth, celebrated annually on 22nd April.

Earth Day and Earth Month serve to help educate, inspire and move people, companies and communities internationally to understand and appreciate the importance of investing in and protecting our environment. Participating in this movement is a powerful way to make a positive impact on our planet.

Earth Day is a reminder that each and every one of us have a part to play, and a responsibility to care for our planet, even in small ways in our day to day lives. Reducing our carbon footprint, conserving water, and recycling are some small ways in which each of us can contribute.

This year's theme: Planet v Plastics.
