Restoring Our Earth is bigger than one solution or one country’s efforts. This Earth Month, the Earth Day Network has outlined a few key avenues we must focus on to heal our planet and address climate change beyond mitigation and adaption.
🌲 Reforestation: captures carbon, cools overheated places, benefits agriculture, supports pollinators, reduces the risk of disease transmission and boosts local economies
🍲 Food + the Environment: adopting the latest techniques to support farmers, renew their land, and capture carbon through regenerative agriculture and sustainable food practices
🗑️ Global Cleanups: cleanups reduce waste and plastic pollution, improve habitats, prevent harm to wildlife and humans and even lead to larger environmental action
📚 Climate Literacy: combined with civic education, climate and environmental literacy will create jobs, build a green consumer market, and allow citizens to engage with their governments in a meaningful way to restore our earth
