Happy Earth Day, 56th anniversary, theme 'Our Power, Our Planet'
April 22 marked the 56th Earth Day, themed 'Our Power, Our Planet', with organizers urging people to plant trees, reduce waste and press for stronger climate policy. Institutions staged events from the National Wildlife Federation's vintage Muppets PSA to EMBO's SPARKHub presentation by Philipp Weber on Zoom at 10:00 CEST hosted by the Max Delbrück Center. Scientific outlets published solution-focused reporting, including an AAS Journal cover paper mapping futures with bigger harvests, expanded clean energy and a low-altitude economy even as storms and wildfires intensify. Advocates used Earth Day to spotlight policy fights, specifically calling out efforts to repeal the EPA's greenhouse gas "endangerment finding" and to pressure lawmakers ahead of imminent rule decisions.
