What is Earth Day? A Brief History
April 22 is International Earth Day. April 22 marks the anniversary of the birth of the Earth Day environmental movement. It was in 1970, at a time when production went hand in hand with pollution, that the first public protests emerged. US Senator Gaylord Nelson instilled in these movements a public awareness of air pollution, water pollution and environmental protection as a political priority. Since then, Earth Day has become international and aims to raise public awareness of the importance of protecting the environment by promoting concrete actions.

By organizing our first “RDV de la RSE” on “The challenges of waste management and the circular economy in a world in transition” on June 1.
A conference led by Jean-Pierre Maugendre, Director of the Biodiversity and Environmental Protection Division of the Veolia Group, world leader in waste and water management! Waste accounts for 20% of methane emissions worldwide. Jean-Pierre Maugendre showed us how our relationship with waste has evolved, from hygiene to ecology. And how a circular economy is becoming necessary in a decarbonized world.
