Earth Day 2025 with Jackery: Powering a Sustainable Future

Earth Day is considered one of the world's most significant public environmental events. It's a call to action for everyone on Earth. Every April 22, people worldwide come together to celebrate the world and raise awareness of protecting the planet. People usually celebrate Earth Day by marching, signing petitions to plant trees, lobbying local councillors, and tidying up towns and beaches. So, even ordinary citizens can get involved in Earth Day 2025.

Jackery is also involved in earth protection and focuses on producing eco-friendly items and packaging. This includes the Jackery Portable Power Station which uses a LiFePo4 battery to store more solar energy.

What Is Earth Day?

Earth Day is a global environmental protection festival. It is an annual worldwide celebration that aims to promote sustainable development. Every year, Earth Day reminds people of the importance of sustainable development and calls on individuals, communities, and businesses to work together to solve environmental problems.

When Is Earth Day 2025?

Earth Day 2025 will be held on Tuesday, April 22. It is celebrated on April 22 every year, regardless of the day of the week. April 22 was chosen to align with Earth Day, which has been celebrated since 1970. In the United States, Earth Day is celebrated on April 22 without fail. However, in some places, it is celebrated on April 22, the vernal equinox, or other celebrations held around Earth Day.

When Did Earth Day Begin?

Earth Day began in the United States in 1970 (April 22). At that time, Denis Hayes, a graduate student at Harvard University, organised a series of campus lectures to raise awareness of environmental issues. It quickly developed into a national movement that inspired 20 million Americans and can be said to be the first large-scale ecological movement in human history. At that time, people participating in the protests were highly concerned about major environmental issues such as oil spills and air pollution. Then, Gaylord Nelson and Denis Hayes took the opportunity to propose the establishment of Earth Day to attract public participation and unite people to demand a cleaner and healthier earth.

What Is Earth Day Like Today?

In recent years, Earth Day has gradually become international. Approximately 1 billion people (regardless of race, gender, income or region) participate in Earth Day-related activities yearly. At present, Earth Day has become one of the most significant public secular events in the world.

What Is the Theme of Earth Day 2025?

According to the content released by Earth Day, the theme of Earth Day 2025 is "Our Power, Our Planet." This theme emphasises the collective power of people to address climate change, reuse renewable energy, and build a green economy.

The Goal of the Theme of Earth Day 2025

The theme of Earth Day 2025 emphasises humanity's shared responsibility for transitioning to renewable energy and creating a sustainable future. Global renewable energy power generation will double or triple by 2030 to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

Here are some more specific steps to implement the 2025 Earth Day theme:

• Invest in more innovative solutions to replace fossil fuels with more sustainable energy

• Promote more homes and businesses to use renewable energy

• Improve air quality while reducing air pollution (and the death rate caused by it)

Whether you want to learn about it or take specific actions, it will be a step towards achieving the goal of the 2025 Earth Day theme. Although this goal is ambitious, it is achievable, especially with the efforts of individuals, communities, industries and governments.

What Can Individuals Do on Earth Day?

Usually, environmental protection actions are not only on Earth Day but also on ordinary days. As an individual, you can participate and support Earth Day through the following actions.

Reduce Carbon Footprint

Individuals can celebrate Earth Day by reducing their carbon footprint. Reducing it can start with food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

First, you can prioritise walking, cycling, or using public transportation. For short trips, you can choose trains instead of planes. If you drive, maintaining reasonable tyre pressure and avoiding sudden acceleration can reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions indirectly.

Secondly, you can reduce unnecessary energy consumption, such as turning off unused electrical appliances.

Reduce Waste

It is feasible and meaningful for individuals to celebrate Earth Day by reducing waste by saving water, saving paper, and avoiding using disposable items.

Regarding water conservation, you can reduce water consumption by shortening shower time, using water-saving equipment, and promptly preventing water leaks.

Waste paper can be directly reduced using electronic documents, double-sided printing, recycled paper, and other measures.

Support Environmentally Friendly Products

By choosing products made of sustainable materials (such as daily necessities made of bamboo fibre instead of plastic or supporting locally produced organic agricultural products), consumers can promote the green transformation of enterprises through market choices and reduce resource waste and pollution emissions. For example, choosing cleaning products with degradable packaging (rather than disposable plastic packaging) can reduce the risk of marine plastic pollution.

Participate in Environmental Protection Activities

Tree planting activities can effectively improve the ecological environment. Every newly planted sapling adds vitality to the Earth's "green lungs." Garbage cleaning can directly reduce pollution. Collecting waste can beautify the environment, whether it is a beach, park, or community street.

Spread Environmental Awareness

Today, many people celebrate Earth Day by sharing environmental knowledge on social media, such as making videos about ecological protection, garbage-sorting tutorials, and low-carbon living skills. Organising a display area for handicrafts made of degradable materials and a recycling point for used batteries in the community is also a good way to spread environmental awareness.

What Achievements Has Earth Day Made Over the Years? 

In recent years, Earth Day has made remarkable achievements in promoting global environmental protection, raising public awareness and promoting policy changes.

The following is a summary of Earth Day's main achievements:

Improvement of Policies and Legislation

Earth Day's birth and development have significantly improved global environmental policies. For example, Earth Day prompted the British government to strengthen environmental legislation (the Climate Change Act) and become the first country in the world to write emission reduction targets into law. To date, Earth Day has facilitated the formulation of environmental regulations in more than 190 countries, and its influence continues to be reflected in the signing process of international treaties such as the Paris Climate Agreement.

Raising Public Awareness

The Earth Day theme event on April 22 every year brings issues such as climate change and resource waste into the public eye through multi-channel publicity (such as media reports, community actions, corporate initiatives, etc.). Therefore, through the Earth Day event, the public's awareness of climate change, plastic pollution and other issues has been significantly improved. For example, Earth Day in 2023 attracted more than 1 billion people from 192 countries worldwide to participate, and the number of readings of related topics on social media exceeded 10 billion.

Reduce Plastic Use

In recent years, as the problem of plastic pollution has become increasingly severe, Earth Day has gradually become an essential platform for advocating plastic reduction actions. For example, the theme of Earth Day in 2024 is to call for an end to plastics, which requires a 60% reduction in all plastic production by 2040 and a plastic-free future for future generations. Humans can gradually eliminate disposable plastics and find new sustainable alternatives. Earth Day has promoted the UK's restrictions on disposable plastics, such as banning plastic straws and stirring sticks.

Development of Renewable Energy

As a global environmental protection event, Earth Day indirectly promotes renewable energy development by raising public awareness of environmental protection and promoting government action. In 2023, solar energy investment exceeded $1 billion per day, exceeding the total expenditure on new upstream oil projects for the first time in recorded human history. The UK will completely withdraw from coal-fired power generation in 2020, becoming the first G7 country to bid farewell to coal-fired power generation.
