Earth Day was first celebrated on April 22, 1970. Today, more than one billion people in 193 countries take action on Earth Day each year. Over the years, Earth Day has grown into one of the most important citizen movements for environmental action.

‍"The awakening experienced by astronauts upon discovering our planet from space is a major event in the history of mankind. Feelings of wonder and fragility evidently run through them in orbit. OneHome's mission to bring this transformation to everyone is critical and can play an activating role in transcending our differences. " declares Patrick Viveret.

‍“We are extremely honored to welcome Patrick Viveret to celebrate Earth Day and OneHome's first anniversary. He is a leading voice who has dedicated his life to peace, respect for the environment and dialogue among the peoples of the Earth. The power of his message brings us back to our condition, both extraordinary and insignificant, and our responsibility to the planet and future generations. He has agreed to be a member of our advisory board since our inception and we thank him for his ongoing support of the importance of the overview effect. " says Jean-Pierre Goux, founder and president of the NGO OneHome.
