Earth Day Should Be a National Holiday


Earth Day Should Be a National Holiday
The Issue
We believe that Earth Day should be a national holiday - giving everyone time to explore our planet.
When people take time to appreciate Earth, they feel more connected to it and are more likely to protect it. That’s why we are taking a stand and committing that on Earth Day we will explore and connect with our surroundings. We believe love for our planet comes from having the freedom to explore it, and that Earth Day should be recognized as a national holiday everywhere.
Sign and share to join the petition to support Earth Day as a national holiday.
Today, we’re spending more time in front of screens than ever before. The average person with a smartphone checks their phone 47 times per day, and we’re averaging 4 hours a day of emails, photos and a steady stream of “you might like” suggestions. This behavior is hindering our ability to discover and make meaningful connections in the real world. When we unplug, we’re more open to connect with each other, our communities, and the world around us.
We all deserve time to explore and connect. Sign our petition to make Earth Day a national holiday and spend the day exploring the planet we love.
