When you think of Earth Day, what do you think of? For us at EnviroVoters, everyday is Earth Day, and we’re hoping you can join us in celebrating it all month, not just Earth Day on April 22. Here are some things you can do and ways to stay engaged in the fight to solve the climate crisis and protect our environment for the whole month of Earth Day:
The climate movement is full of female champions. To celebrate Women’s History Month, we’re highlighting a few of the many women delivering climate solutions.
The 2022 Scoping Plan is instrumental for California to become carbon neutral by 2045.

But what is the Scoping Plan?
It’s Black History Month and we’re talking about Black environmentalist activists you don’t hear enough about.
