Happy Earth Day! 

The very first Earth Day celebration happened April 22, 1970. One of the biggest events that year was in Fairmount Park in Philadelphia. More than 20,000 people gathered at what was described as part environmental teach-in, part hippie music festival.

“Their dream for the Age of Aquarius was to ‘let the sun shine in, let the sun shine in,’” CBS News correspondent David Culhane reported at the time.

In 2025, much like in 1970, Earth Day events are happening in the midst of regular nationwide protests. Earth Day events are traditionally not protests, however — they’re awareness events with a call to action. This year, the official theme is “Our Power, Our Planet,” with a call to unite around a goal to triple clean electricity by 2030.

In honor of Earth Day, you’ll find some tech jobs below that are helping to do good for the planet.
