Here at Mongabay we’ve developed a bit of a policy of not making a big deal for Earth Day. We believe that people should respect the planet on a daily basis.
Nonetheless, below are a few pictures I’ve taken since Earth Day 2014 that remind me of why I started Mongabay nearly 16 years ago.
If you want to see some of our more substantive Earth Day coverage from the past, here are a few posts:

- World failing on every environmental issue: an op-ed for Earth Day [2011]
- No longer a fan of Earth Day [2008]
- Is Earth Day a waste of time? [2005]
