    what is earth
    day?
    Earth Day is an annual celebration that raises awareness about environmental issues and promotes
    conservation efforts across the globe. Several events and individuals in the United States from the
    1960s to the 1970s inspired this occasion, which then grew into the worldwide phenomenon we know
    today. In our case, we have to thank the late Senator Jose W. Diokno, also known as “Ka Pepe,” for
    bringing it here!
    Who is “Ka
    Pepe”?
    Senator Jose W. Diokno was a prominent human rights advocate during the Martial Law era. Not only
    that, he was also a key figure in environmental conservation. He pushed for laws that protect the
    environment, including safeguarding natural resources, preserving biodiversity, and promoting
    sustainable practices.
    Ka Pepe’s Earth
    Day Advocacy
    Earth Day in the Philippines started during the 1970s, following the United States. Two years later,
    Senator Diokno sponsored a Senate resolution that officially designated April 22 as Philippine Earth
    Day. This resolution formalized the observance of the occasion and encouraged Filipinos to
    participate in environmental activities.

    and organization among students.
    Filipinos also come up with creative ways to celebrate Philippine
    Earth Day. From awareness campaigns to art exhibitions and
    cultural performances, there is no shortage of ways to promote
    sustainability and a better environment for all.

    plastics
    This year, the theme of the annual celebration focuses on ''Planet vs
    Plastics,'' which emphasizes the goal to achieve a 60% reduction in
    plastic by 2040, educate the public on its negative effect on
    biodiversity, and demand policies and technologies that correspond to a
    plastic-free world.
    The Department of Environment
    and Natural Resources (DENR)

    is launching on April 22 the Earth Day Every Day Project to mobilize


    the youth in curbing plastic pollution and to strengthen the fight
    against the use of plastic. Earth Day Every Day Project is a plastics
    collection competition among students nationwide. It aims to engage
    the youth on the importance of recycling plastics and to foster a
    culture of environmental responsibilities in line with the values of
