In 1970, 20 million Americans took to the streets and parks on the first Earth Day to learn about how they could protect the environment, creating a national shock wave that fueled rapid and impactful action.
This is the kind of inspired action we need today, and it can happen here if we each lean in and commit – to learning, to leading, and to taking bold action every day toward environmental solutions.
When
Our three-day event celebrates key areas where climate leaders are stepping up to do the critical work needed to combat the climate crisis:
April 22: Youth Leadership
April 23: Business Leadership
April 24: Community Leadership
Where
Livestream on SBEarthDay.org from anywhere you are! CEC’s Santa Barbara Earth Day is fully online again in 2021 due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions.
What
Three days dedicated to stepping into climate leadership. Join in on conversations with climate leaders, get into the groove with musical performances and art contests, build community and connect with eco-minded exhibitors, and learn how you can lean into climate action at this urgent moment.
Over the three days, CEC will also outline and dive deeper into ambitious plans for how our community can meet the urgency of the climate crisis and go all in together on halting the impacts of climate change – rapidly and equitably – through three major efforts:
Reverse: Push for ambitious, equitable zero emissions and zero waste goals for the energy, transportation, food, and agriculture sectors
Repair: Tap into the power of nature to draw down excess carbon from the atmosphere and repair the disrupted carbon cycle
Protect: Safeguard the health of our general public and vulnerable populations from the impacts of climate change already underway
