DeKalb County Celebrates Earth Day 2025

DeKalb County recognizes and celebrates the history of Earth Day and the modern environmental movement, recognizing that all forms of life on Earth maintain an inherent right to a healthy, sustainable, and livable natural environment.

EARTHDAY.ORG, the global organizer of Earth Day and the largest recruiter of environmental movements worldwide, has proclaimed this year’s theme “our power, our planet,” a call to action through education, advocacy and community support.

As a result, climate change has become the most urgent challenge of the 21st century. Please read more here.
