April 2025: Earth Day 2025

Since 1970, April 22nd has been known as Earth Day and has represented the modern environmental movement. Our planet deserves our protection. The serious problems of declining environmental quality demand serious solutions. We hope you join us in pursuing progress.

The 17th Annual “The Amazing Eau Claire Clean-Up” is scheduled for Saturday, April 19, 2025 from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. The event, organized by Eau Claire Parks, Recreation, and Forestry, sends volunteers to assigned locations throughout the city including parks, playgrounds, picnic areas, recreational trails, and downtown to pick up litter.

Check out other Earth Day events in the Chippewa Valley like: Earth Day at Our Nawakwa with service projects Earth Day Yoga and Trash Pick Up Earth Day film screening of ”REUSE! Because You Can’t Recycle the Planet”

The work doesn’t stop on Earth Day. We can each take action to protect our planet every day of the year, such as by: Holding corporate mega-polluters accountable along with the political powers that enable them, Avoiding using generative AI (which relies on plagiarism in addition to causing devastating environmental harms), and Choosing to spend and invest our dollars as socially and environmentally responsibly as possible.
