Expressing support for honoring Earth Day, and for other purposes.

This resolution from the House of Representatives expresses strong support for honoring Earth Day, an annual event first celebrated on April 22, 1970, and founded by the late Senator Gaylord Nelson. Earth Day is recognized for its pivotal role in uniting millions of Americans to demand environmental protections, launching the modern environmental movement, and inspiring landmark legislation such as the Clean Air Act and the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency. It continues to encourage global environmental activism, stewardship, and the recognition of indigenous communities' wisdom in preserving biodiversity. The resolution specifically urges the President to issue a proclamation recognizing Earth Day and encourages the American people to actively address environmental challenges, uplift indigenous environmental knowledge, and educate others on year-round action. Furthermore, it urges the United States Government to rejoin the Paris Agreement and prioritize efforts to ensure a livable planet for future generations. Finally, the House reaffirms the immediate need for action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ameliorate environmental injustices, thereby protecting Earth, public health, and the overall well-being of all people and wildlife.
