Friday 22nd April sees the return of the annual Earth Day.

Earth Day 2022 Raise a Donation for Rainforest Trust

While Earth Day may be a global event, there are lots of little things we can do to make a difference to our immediate surroundings. Spending time in gardens and other outdoor places has long been known to support mental health, but the benefits don’t stop there. Planting selected seeds can help to encourage bees and other beneficial insects to visit your green spaces, which in turn has a knock on effect to the wider ecosystem.

What is Earth Day?

1970 saw the first Earth Day take place in the USA, marking the birth of the modern environmental movement. With an ambitious aim to educate the world about the damage being done by smoke and sludge being belched out by modern industry. While pockets of the population had environmental concerns, the stage was set for a larger discussion across the continent, and very soon the world.

Today, Earth Day is sadly needed as much as ever. With a real emphasis on urgency, our Earth is at a tipping point when it comes to the ravages of climate change. But all is not lost! The citizens of the world expect better from their governments and big business, resulting in Earth Day becoming the largest secular observance in the world.

We all can play a part in making the future a better place to live in, an ambition shared by Suttons.
