A resolution designating the month of April 2025 as "Earth Month" and expressing support for environmental stewardship and climate action.

Sponsored By: Senator Markey, Edward J. [D-MA]

Introduced

Summary

Earth Month would be designated for April 2025 to promote broad environmental stewardship and urgent climate action. The resolution would connect that month to public education, protecting health from pollution and climate harms, and the global goal of conserving 30 percent of lands and waters by 2030.

Show full summary
  • Families and local communities would get a push toward hands-on activities like tree planting, litter removal, reef cleanup, and energy and water conservation to raise awareness and participation.
  • Workers would see a clear statement that people have a right to safe and healthy workplaces and should not have to choose between unsafe work and a paycheck.
  • Indigenous communities and Tribal Nations would be explicitly recognized for their environmental knowledge and stewardship, with encouragement to incorporate those practices into policy.
  • Frontline and low-income communities would be centered in the resolution because they bear disproportionate pollution and climate harms.
  • Educators and the public would be urged to expand climate and environmental literacy, explore green technologies, and support clean, efficient, and affordable energy transitions.
