Best Earth Day Tweets To Keep You In The Know

Although Earth Day only comes once a year, climate change is a serious problem that must be dealt with year-round.

The annual event raises awareness about environmental issues and helps many individuals become more aware of the climate crisis. Here are just a few of the tweets that help to spread information about the importance of caring for the environment.

The UNEP tweeted the Lung Association's State of the Air report, which found that more than 4 in 10 Americans live in counties that had unhealthy levels of pollution. Many people don't think about the air that they breathe in each day or how much of an effect it can have on one's health.

Professor Katharine Hayhoe used the day to promote awareness of climate change. She tweeted, "Climate Change: It's real. It's us. It's serious - and becoming dangerous. But there is hope: there are solutions. The faster we cut out emissions and take carbon out of the atmosphere, the less suffering there will be."

Professor Katharine Hayhoe was not alone in warning of the dangers of pollution. Al Gore's tweet was also getting a lot of attention online. He tweeted, "Taking photos every ~15 minutes on 3/21, the DSCOVR satellite gave us this beautiful view of 24hrs on Earth. Yet each day, we pump another 162M tons of GHG pollution into our atmosphere. While that is sadly still true on this #EarthDay, we must commit to building a better future."

Other users brought awareness to little-known climate change issues. Mike Hudema tweeted, "Over 1100 people have been arrested protecting some of the last remaining iconic old growth forests in BC. It is the largest act of environmental civil disobedience in Canada's history. Only a fraction remains. Protect the irreplaceable."

Michael Regan of the Environmental Protection Agency posted a two-minute video to show how the Administration is handling the current climate crisis that the world is experiencing.
