AI Summary
This resolution expresses support for honoring Earth Day, which began in 1970 and is credited with launching the modern environmental movement by uniting people to demand protections for the planet and its inhabitants. It acknowledges the ongoing need for environmental action to address challenges like climate change and pollution, and highlights the importance of environmental citizenship and stewardship year-round, including learning from indigenous communities. The resolution urges the President to issue a proclamation recognizing Earth Day, encourages Americans to participate in activities that address environmental challenges, uplift indigenous knowledge, educate others, and honor the legacy of Earth Day founder Senator Gaylord Nelson. Furthermore, it reaffirms the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and environmental injustices, and calls for the United States Government to rejoin the Paris Agreement, an international accord aimed at combating climate change, to ensure a sustainable future.
