2025 marks the 55th anniversary of celebrating Earth Day, a global event paying homage to the planet we call home every April 22. The annual celebration has promoted environmental awareness and protection since 1970. This year’s theme — “Our Power, Our Planet” — calls for people across the world to unite behind renewable energy and support clean electricity by 2030. This is a perfect spotlight for companies in the RV and outdoor recreation industries that are striving to bolster eco-friendly practices and education. These marketplaces are nothing without the great outdoors. Around here, every day is Earth Day.
