Washington, D.C.,— EARTHDAY.ORG (EDO) is excited to announce the official Earth Day 2025 Poster, designed by renowned artist Alexis Rockman, to mark Earth Day’s 55th anniversary, just 55 days before Earth Day on April 22, 2025.

Rockman’s artwork perfectly captures Earth Day’s 2025 theme Our Power, Our Planet, with a solar panel rising above a celebratory crowd of people.  The imagery is designed to invoke hope, combining the beauty of nature with the promise of a cleaner, greener future for all.

“Humans are an almost entirely visual species, and art can and should convey complex and highly emotional images that go directly to our hearts. After listening carefully to the Earth Day team, I felt this image of a forest and a diverse crowd of people reflected in a solar panel conveyed the idea of solar power being the best direction collectively for our needs with the least impact on the rest of the planet. There is still time to make a difference.” Alexis Rockman

“Alexis Rockman has created a truly special poster that I hope every school, library, and business will display to inspire people to support Earth Action Day and our theme backing renewable energy—Our Power, Our Planet,” said Kathleen Rogers, President of EARTHDAY.ORG. “This poster serves as a powerful reminder that we have energy options, and renewable energy can fuel our future without harming the planet.”

The Earth Day poster tradition began in 1970 with the iconic design by Robert Rauschenberg, which featured a bald eagle flanked by images of endangered species, deforestation, and pollution—powerful visuals that called for immediate action. The posters that followed have carried this message forward, with each artist adding their unique voice to the global environmental conversation.

“Earth Day is THE symbol of all that is great about the environmental movement that I grew up inspired by,” said artist Alexis Rockman. “Since I saw the first Earth Day poster by Robert Rauschenberg in 1970, it has always been at the top of my bucket list — doing the Earth Day 2025 poster is literally a dream come true.”

Rockman, a Connecticut-based environmental artist, has used his art to raise awareness about the environment since the 1980s. His work, exploring nature, science, and human impact, has been exhibited globally, including at the Venice Biennale, Carnegie Museum of Art, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum. He also contributed as an Inspirational Artist for the 2012 film Life of Pi. Recent exhibitions include Alexis Rockman: Oceanus and Journey to Nature’s Underworld (2024).

About EARTHDAY.ORG: Founded in 1970 by the organizers of the first Earth Day, EARTHDAY.ORG has grown into the world’s largest environmental movement, mobilizing over one billion people annually to protect the planet and its people. Our mission is to diversify, educate, and activate the environmental community globally.

There has been ongoing debate over the issue of immigration and refugees for many months here in the U.S. and around the world.

And in June, there is a day dedicated to refugees — to raise awareness to their needs and plight, realizing the horrors they have endured in leaving their homeland to find a safe place to live. It’s a time to try to work together to ensure every refugee child gets an education, every family has a safe place to call home and every refugee can work or learn new skills to make a positive contribution to their community.

And now, thousands of refugees are also united by one flag. An orange and black flag inspired by the life vests most all had to wear in their search for a safer land to live. It’s been designed and made by a Syrian refugee and artist who currently lives in Amsterdam.

The idea for the flag began by a group known as the The Refugee Nation, after the first ever Olympic team made up of refugees competed in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. While the flag has not yet been sanctioned by the International Olympic Committee, The Refugee Nation wants to give those from foreign nations a symbol of unity and identity that they can call their own.

Right now, refugees are asking for the public’s support in their efforts to resettle. Everyone can help by buying and displaying this special flag and help the refugees adjust to their new surroundings in the U.S.

Our guest — Meron Semedar is an advocate of human rights, refugees and immigrants (and a refugee himself). He will address the current situation of refugees, discuss how and why this unique and special flag was created, and explain how we all can help.

On Sunday, March 12th, we changed our clocks ahead one hour, which means that Daylight Savings Time started and Standard Time has ended. However, the change shouldn’t stop there. The Chase Frederick project, suggests that you should also take this opportunity to NOT only change the time, but your watch too.

Aiming to challenge the paradigm of thinking that an automatic watch is only for the men’s club, the Chase Frederick project, (https://www.chasefrederick.com) is on a mission to change this perception. The luxury time-piece company is hitting the luxury fashion accessories market hard with breathtakingly designed slim, self-winding automatic watches for women. Within an industry where automatic watches are primarily bulk and well suited for men, Chase Frederick hopes to debut multiple designs, with the help of crowdfunding, that reflect vintage aesthetics with a modern, yet romantic appeal. Chase Frederick is headquartered in Indianapolis and run by husband and wife co-founders Angie and Jeremy Zimmerman, who saw a missing product within the women’s watch market. The Chase Frederick Kickstarter will run for duration of 30 days and will assist the company in launching seven different automatic watch designs with a general retail price of under $300. The company has set an overall crowdfunding goal of $20K.
Angie and Jeremy Zimmerman will be able to discuss the following The levels for the campaign and contributor gifts include:
• Contribute $30 or more for a free bracelet (Below)
• $200 Super Early Bird Contributor special for choice of one watch with stainless steel band: Pink dial, Serenity blue dial, or Silver dial. Includes $30 bracelet for free. (Limited to 100 contributors)

“The trend has shifted towards larger watch dials, and this is because many watch brands spend so much time focusing on men and not women,” says Jeremy Zimmerman. “We chose to do something very few other brands do in the watch industry; we chose to focus on creating a truly feminine piece. A timepiece is a fashion statement which should complement your wardrobe, and we felt this bold statement for women should be elegant, and feminine, something women would be proud to wear.”
A self-winding automatic reflects a more classic style with a visual impact. Chase Frederick takes much pride in their first product, a 24mm Automatic Timepiece designed and manufactured with only the finest materials and quality craftsmanship. Every part of the timepiece is the brand’s original design while working closely with manufacturers to flesh out complete engineering specifications, identifying quality materials, processes and techniques that best fit the overall vision of creating an elegant and truly feminine piece.
