What Earth Day Reminds Us About Renewable Energy
Earth Day may have been last week, but the message is still as powerful today.
At Riverside Energy Systems, we believe Earth Day isn’t just a one-day event, it’s a reminder of the long-term commitment we all share to protect our planet. One of the most impactful ways we can do that is by investing in renewable energy, especially solar.
Here are five lessons Earth Day teaches us about the importance of clean energy and the role we all play inbuilding a more sustainable future:
1. The Earth Still Needs Our Action
Earth Day reminds us that climate change is ongoing, and reducing emissions is more urgent than ever. Renewable energy like solar gives us the tools to take real, measurable action against environmental harm.
2. Clean Energy is More Accessible Than Ever
What once felt like a future technology is now a reality with affordability options. From homes to businesses and entire communities, including First Nations across BC, solar is helping more people take control of their energy use while reducing their carbon footprint.
3. Every Step Counts
One of Earth Day’s key lessons is that progress happens when individuals act. Whether switching to solar power or simply being more energy conscious, every decision matters. Small changes lead to a big impact over time.
4. Lead Solutions Matter
Change starts close to home. Across Kamloops and northern BC, we’ve seen how solar projects can empower communities, reduce energy costs, and support local sustainability goals. Earth Day encourages us to keep building on that momentum.
5. Our Choices Shape the Future
Perhaps the biggest takeaway from Earth Day is that we’re not passive observers. We’re active participants in shaping a better future. Choosing solar is more than a utility decision, it’s a vote for clean air, healthy ecosystems, and long-term resilience
