Stars are celebrating Earth Day 2017 on Saturday, and supporting the first-ever March For Science. See tweets from Hollywood celebrities below.
Earth Day, marked annually on April 22, began in 1970 to support environmental causes, namely protecting the planet in all of its glory. This year, however, the pseudo-holiday is coinciding with the inaugural March For Science. Taking place in Washington, D.C., along with cities across the globe, the protests are meant to recognize the importance of the sciences, and the influence they should have on policy.
On social media, celebs are calling attention to both occasions. Sharing the above photo on Instagram, Troian Bellisario wrote, “Happy Earth Day! Today, let’s do something to help our bee friends (whose hives had declines of 44% last year!) Join me and @BurtBeesUS and take a #SelflessSelfie! For each unique selfie created, @BurtsBeesUS will plant 5k wildflower seeds to feed the bees and help bring them back!
