Why is the theme Planet vs Plastics?
Planet vs. Plastics unites students, parents, businesses, governments, churches, unions, individuals, and NGOs in an unwavering commitment to call for the end of plastics for the sake of human and planetary health, demanding a 60% reduction in the production of plastics by 2040 and an ultimate goal of building a plastic-free future for generations to come.
Earth Day is taking place during Discovery Week celebrating the 35th anniversary of the Saskatchewan Science Centre! Learn more here.
