Like my son said the other day, we should treat every day like it’s Earth Day and do what we can to look after the planet.
Today is the official day to recognize that we need to care and do what we can to keep our planet healthy.
There are a number of things officially planned around today, but even taking a moment to pick up some litter helps. Also leading by example is a great way to help others create helpful habits.
Here is the official list of events planned for today. With over 10,000 events, EARTHDAY.ORG’s 2026 Event Map shows the community power taking place across the globe. Even one cleanup from Queens County made the map

This year Earth Day is extra special for one organization. The Nature Conservancy is marking 75 years this year.
Doesn’t matter how small your action might be today, the saying “every little helps” is very true. I know I am thankful and I am sure our planet thanks you for caring.
