“Invest in Our Planet”

The theme for Earth Month 2023 is “Invest in Our Planet,” which encourages governments, businesses, and communities equally to hold themselves accountable and do their part! Points of Light’s Civic Circle encourages each and every one of us to leverage our purchasing power and invest in things that matter!
