Toronto Earth Day 2020

The 50th anniversary of Earth Day comes today - April 22nd - Yay, so happy Earth Day. Today brings a call for climate action. This year the Covid-19 pandemic will cancel, or force online, events to help the earth. There are a lot of Climate Strikes that won't be able to take place.

From Earth Day's website; "Climate change represents the biggest challenge to the future of humanity and the life-support systems that make our world habitable."

THE EARTH NEEDS US NOW MORE THAN EVER —
ON APRIL 22, EARTH DAY GOES DIGITAL

NASA images show Nitrogen-Dioxide levels dropped in China early in 2020. CNN reports that the NO2 have been dropping in the US as well.

The world is getting a break during the pandemic as pollution levels have fallen as human practices have been severely curtailed pollution across the globe. Stay and work at home, quarantines and economic shutdowns have reduced everything it seems. I have even heard that the canals of Venice have cleared and you can see fish and dolphins in the water now, but the dolphins story is apparently fake according to National Geographic.

You can check out Toronto's virtual Earth Day 2020 event from noon to 1pm from Canadian Club of Toronto. "To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, join Canadian Club Toronto on April 22nd to discuss what a greener Toronto, and Canada, looks like, how we can continue to build on current progress, and develop actionable change for the future. This expert panel will be moderated by Dr. Dan Riskin, former host of the Discovery Channel’s Daily Planet"
