All TOGETHER now!

This is the moment to change it all — the


business climate, the political climate, and how
we take action on climate. Now is the time for
the unstoppable courage to preserve and
protect our health, our families, our
livelihoods… together, we must Invest In Our
Planet.
Because a green future is a prosperous future.
We need to act (boldly), innovate (broadly),
and implement (equitably). It’s going to take
all of us. All in. Businesses, governments, and
citizens — everyone accounted for, and
everyone accountable. A partnership for the
planet.
And while there is still time to solve the
climate crisis, time to choose BOTH a
prosperous and sustainable future, and time
to restore nature and build a healthy planet
for our children and their children, time is
short.
The theme for Earth Day 2022 will be “Invest in Our Planet.” Earth
Day 2022 is focused on accelerating solutions to combat our
greatest threat, climate change, and to activate everyone –
governments, citizens, and businesses – to do their part. Everyone
accounted for, and everyone accountable. 
As Individual citizens we have
the simple yet effective
power to make our voices
heard. What each of us does,
and how we do it, has a huge
ripple effect on our
ecosystems, and on the pace
of corporate and government
action. We are responsible for
holding business,
governments, and others
accountable and to support
their efforts when they get it
right.  How can we do that?
National and local
government officials can
open new doors by
incentivizing their citizens,
businesses, and institutions
to create and innovate.
They can create a fair global
economic system to
implement these
innovations and changes
without giving up their role
to advance and protect the
public’s interests in this
transition.  
LIKE OTHER ECONOMIC REVOLUTIONS, INVENTORS,
INNOVATORS, BUSINESSES, AND INVESTORS ARE THE MOST
LIKELY TO DRIVE SIGNIFICANT CHANGE. IT IS TIME FOR
THESE CHANGE AGENTS TO STEP IT UP.  IT IS ALSO UP TO US
TO REQUIRE THAT THEY CREATE VALUE BOTH FOR
THEMSELVES AND FOR SOCIETY AS THEY DRIVE GREEN
INNOVATION. 
Smart companies are
discovering that it is no
longer a choice between
going green and growing
long-term profits —
sustainability is the path
to prosperity. So for both
humanitarian and
business reasons, it is
imperative that
companies of all sizes take
action and embrace the
benefits of a green
economy.
“The secret of change is to focus all of your
energy not on fighting the old, but on
building the new.” – Socrates
When it comes to individual action for the
common good, one of the best ways that
people can make an impact for our planet
is by cleaning up our public spaces. Our
pollution problem is getting out of hand
and our environment is suffering from it.
Open landfills emit dangerous greenhouse
gasses, waste and pollution that enter our
oceans and freshwater. Microplastics even
make it into our food and the air we
breathe. 
One of the ways that you can
#InvestInOurPlanet this Earth Day is to help
clean up our public spaces. Our waste and
pollution problem is getting out of hand, and
our environment is suffering from it.
