Why You Should Care
Caring for the environment is essential to ensuring a stable, healthy, and equitable future. The Earth’s resources are finite, yet global demand is rising—with the population expected to reach nearly 10 billion by 2050. Already, over 90% of people breathe polluted air, and nearly 2 billion lack access to safe drinking water. Climate change has increased global temperatures by over 1°C, driving more frequent disasters that caused $210 billion in damages in 2020 alone. Biodiversity is declining rapidly, with species extinction rates 1,000 times higher than normal. These impacts hit low-income and marginalized communities the hardest.
However, with sustainable
practices and clean tech
-nologies, we can reduce
harm. Taking action now is
critical to protecting public
health, economic stability,
and the future of our planet.
