New York (CBS) Today (4/22) marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, and this years theme is Climate Action. While the COVID-19 pandemic has forced Earth Day activities to go digital, there are plenty of virtual and tangible things you can do from home. With half the worlds population staying at home, climate experts say stay-at-home orders have already had a positive effect on the environment. The 50th anniversary of Earth Day comes as global carbon dioxide emissions are expected to fall significantly. Weve probably got about, I should think, probably three weeks worth of growth that often we wouldnt have had already. There is also an Earth Challenge mobile app which crowdsources environmental data.
