Earth Day 2025 began with events nationwide on April 22, including rallies, clean-ups and campaigns against environmental rollbacks by the Trump administration.
Trump’s administration has been rolling back major environmental protections, cutting renewable energy incentives, weakening emission standards and easing restrictions on fossil fuels.
The 50501 protest, a significant event, took place in Washington DC, where thousands voiced opposition to Trump’s policies, calling for stronger environmental action and sustainable energy reforms.
The Trump administration recently withdrew subsidies for renewable sectors, slashed EV tax credits, and ended incentives for solar and wind projects. Critics warn it could stall America’s green transition and harm climate commitments.
Trump rolled back renewable energy policies, relaxed pollution limits and paused EPA enforcement. His government’s support for fossil fuels has faced criticism from environmentalists and green tech investors.
Thousands joined Earth Day protests under the banner ‘All Out for Earth Day’. Demonstrators in New York and Los Angeles raised concerns over weakened climate policies and broader democratic issues.
States like California and New York continued their green programmes independently. Local governments reaffirmed support for net-zero targets, EV infrastructure and green jobs to fill the policy void.
Students led climate parades, tree plantations and community workshops. Many voiced concern over future job markets, climate migration and the shrinking support for sustainable industries.
Protests have raised awareness, but real change needs continuous and collaborative effort. Citizens, businesses and governments must keep pushing for green policies, renewable energy and stronger environmental protections to fight climate change and build a sustainable future.
