Earth Day is an international event recognised annually in a commitment to slow down and stop climate change. Here are some of the ways it was celebrated this year. 

In the United States the day is celebrated with a variety of protests, rallies and marches demonstrating emphasis needed for purposes of the climate. Many other organisers also spend the day educating people on what we can be doing ourselves in day to day life to help this problem. 

On the other side of the globe in the Philippines they focus on a collective climate action plan to make the world a much more habitable place. The country runs educational webinars which strongly urge citizens to commit to climate health. They even host an Earth Day run!

Finally, another example of earth day celebrations is in Italy where a multiple day festival takes place in Rome in the Villa Borghese which includes an array of activities for people such as sustainability workshops and large concerts.
