​Earth Day is a global movement. The Roanoke Earth Day Celebration 2026 theme “Choose the Planet Over Plastic” emphasizes our collective responsibility be aware of just how much disposable plastic we use, to eliminate single use plastics and to understand the impacts of plastics in our environment, their threat to human health and the rapidly spreading pollution from microplastics. The day empowers people and communities to take charge of protecting the planet.
