Earth Day 2024 Puts Spotlight on Need to Rid Planet of Plastics
Last week, we announced our annual .earth web domain pricing promotion in honor of Earth Day 2024.
While previous Earth Day themes have focused on building a healthier economy, Earth Day 2024 puts plastics pollution in its crosshairs with the theme of “Planet vs. Plastics.”
Tackling plastic pollution is vital to the health of Earth and its inhabitants. The world generates approximately 400 million tones of plastic waste each year with the U.S. contributing 42 million tons. Sadly, only 10 percent of plastic is recycled, and by 2060, global plastic waste will triple in volume.
From a public health perspective, microplastics are linked to an increased risk of serious cardiovascular events, and even death. An alarming new study also found that microplastics are now in human eyes.
This is why the .earth web domain is perfect for any individual or organization involved in the fight to stop the proliferation of plastics.
In honor of Earth Day 2024, the .earth web domain and its registrar partners are offering special pricing for one-year registrations of standard .earth domain names starting at under $10.00 USD – from April 21, 2024 to June 30, 2024.
