The theme for Earth Day 2026 remains “Our Power, Our Planet” because environmental protections are facing pressure worldwide due to economic stress, conflict, climate impacts, and shifting political priorities. In many countries, regulatory frameworks governing air quality, water safety, land use, and energy systems are under review or revision. 

Earth Day 2026 calls on communities worldwide to take action during Earth Week to support clean air, clean water, clean energy, protected natural resources, and climate stability. These factors are directly linked to human health, economic predictability, food security, and cross-border infrastructure performance.

Our Congregation is committed to caring for Earth, working in large and in small ways, individually and collectively, for”ecological well-being, for the protection and sharing of natural resources, and engages in efforts to limit harm to our planet”  (Constitution 43.3).

We welcome the annual celebration of Earth Day as a reminder to us all how human life and the natural world are deeply interconnected and of our responsibility to care for our common home (earth).
