Dear Energizers,
“Everything comes from the earth, and everything ends in the earth.” -Xenophanes, Ancient Greek philosopher
Energean and the World today celebrate the 51st anniversary of Earth Day, the theme of which is “Restore Our Earth.” A number of special environmental events have happened on Earth Day since its inception on 22 April 1970, including signing of the Paris Agreement at the United Nations in 2016 – the most significant climate accord in history that, at a minimum, aims to keep the increase in global average temperature to below 2°C. Achieving this target will not be easy, but across the world we have seen that the global mindset has shifted from ‘if’ to ‘how’ to make the climate transition happen. Indeed, in a way, what the last few years have taught us, is that every day is Earth Day, and that the time for immediate action is now.
