Earth Day

Earth day 22 April 2026

Earth day is a global event that highlights simple actions we can all take to protect the planet. One of the easiest ways to make a difference is by reducing the amount of waste we produce.

Cutting waste helps to:

• save natural resources
• reduce carbon emissions
• protect wildlife and the environment

You don’t need to do everything — choosing just one change can make a real impact.
