Isn't Earth Day just a greenwashing tactic?

This is such a great video, climate change and sustainability need to be talked about more in the mainstream if we really want a difference to be made!

Very interesting video. I didn't realise Earth Day had been going for so long never mind realising how much it has changed since. People have fully bought the idea of individualism with recycling and not leaving the tap running too long when massive corporations and fast fashion companies destroy the globe. Lets hope the right person has read that article you mention at the end ha

[@greenstockingsociety]

So true!! Thanks for watching :)
