Google has launched a new Earth Day 2023 doodle today
This Earth Day Google has launched a new Earth Day Doodle. The animated GIF Doodle is made from real leaves and highlights how individuals and communities can work together in big and small ways to take action against climate change.
When you are online, if you click on the Doodle, it links to the query climate change.
The Doodle depicts a spectrum of actions people can take in their day-to-day that can add up to make a real difference.
- Air drying laundry instead of using the dryer
- Planting trees and cultivating individual or community gardens
- Opting for alternative energy sources, such as solar panels
- Choosing a plant-based diet or plant-based options when possible
- Biking or walking instead of driving when possible
- Recycling
This Google doodle, built around the search giant's logo, is its latest celebration of Earth Day, started 53 years ago to raise awareness of and appreciation for the natural world.
Although some commentators have questioned the effectiveness of the awareness day, the first Earth Day on 22 April 1970 was credited with launching the modern environmental movement.
In the words of its organisers, it is designed to "[activate] individuals and organisations to strengthen the collective fight against man's exploitive relationship with the planet."
