Happy International Mother Earth Day 2025

Happy International Mother Earth Day, 22 April, 2025. 2025 Theme: "Our Power, Our Planet". This theme is a message to all parties to unite around renewable energy for the better and sustainable future. This is the 55th Earth Day since the first celebration in 1970.

The production and use of renewable energy transcends economic systems, political borders and political parties, demonstrating a universal appeal. Let us work together on this, we can do this as small as possible. We have a pathway to providing virtually unlimited, low-cost energy to everyone.

We have achieved a lot of achievements so far in this thing:

1. Today over 50% of Denmark’s electricity is generated from wind turbines and by 2026, wind energy will power 30% of the electricity needs of Spain, 17% of the electricity needs of the Netherlands, and 23% of the electricity needs of Germany.

2. In Brazil hydro-electric accounted for nearly 68% of its total electricity generation in 2023. In Italy hydro-electric accounts for 23% of the total electricity generation and is growing, and in Netherlands it accounts for 16%.

3. Kenya is a leader in Africa, with geothermal power accounting for nearly half of its electricity generation. Geothermal can be beneficial for the electrical grid, as it puts less strain on it and can help mitigate blackouts. Geothermal also emits 97% less acid rain-causing compounds and 99% less carbon dioxide.

4. PRC and the U.S. are both making massive investments in renewable energy. PRC is the largest producer world in both wind and solar, with twice as much capacity under construction as the rest of the world combined in 2024.

The strength of this movement lies in its grassroots nature, and our power as individuals. Support and adopt the rapid transition to renewable energy sources now, like solar, wind, hydro-electric, tidal or geothermal.

People's power at the grassroots has always been at the heart of Earth Day. It is the catalyst for paradigm-shifting change because when individuals unite with a common purpose, they can overcome even the strongest systems, really.
