After a 1969 oil spill wreaked havoc on the environment and sparked a movement for environmental awareness, Earth Day was born. The first Earth Day, which happened in 1970 and brought 20 million Americans together, led to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency. Today, Earth Day summons over a billion people every year to safeguard the planet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each year Earth Day follows a theme, this year the <\/span>theme is “Planet v Plastics,”<\/span><\/a> underscoring the urgent need for plastic reduction. With 380 million tonnes of plastic produced yearly and only 9% recycled, a 60% reduction by 2040 is crucial.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As recent reports show record-high emissions and alarming temperature spikes<\/a>, we\u2019re all called to make more conscious decisions. Our dollar and where we choose to shop can make a big difference.<\/span><\/p>\n
