More than 20 million Americans will celebrate Earth Day 2026 on Wednesday, April 22. That is a lot of people celebrating and increasing their carbon footprints . To put this into perspective, the world population has increased 121% since 1970, according to OvershootDay.org.
Environmental issues were the focus of the first Earth Day in April 1970. The movement prompted many environmental laws, including preventing excessive air pollution via the Clean Air Act and sustaining wildlife through the Endangered Species Act.
This Earth Day 2025, consider doing your part by making simple changes to help the environment. Test your knowledge, too! Quiz takers concerned about Earth can plant trees and enjoy an Earth quiz to care for and honor our planet.
While the scholarship search and application world is digital today, there was a time when scholarship reference books were printed and used. These big books were available for purchase until the early 2000s and were often outdated soon after publication; they were not sustainable or environmentally friendly tools.
Fastweb was one of the first digital scholarship databases for students and parents to use. We're proud to have eliminated non-sustainable scholarship books.
