EARTHDAY.ORG has unveiled the official Earth Day 2025 poster, masterfully designed by acclaimed environmental artist Alexis Rockman. Marking the 55th anniversary of the global event. Blending art with activism, the poster brings to life this year’s urgent theme: Our Power, Our Planet. A global rallying cry to triple renewable energy production by 2030.
At the heart of the artwork lies a radiant solar panel, bathed in sunlight and encircled by thriving greenery and butterflies. This vibrant imagery doesn’t just celebrate nature—it reinforces the pressing need to shift towards clean, sustainable energy sources. “Doing the Earth Day 2025 poster is literally a dream come true!” said Rockman. Who now joins the legacy of influential artists like Robert Rauschenberg, whose 1970 poster launched a tradition of using art to galvanise environmental consciousness.
Unlike conventional environmental art, Rockman grounds his work in scientific understanding. Over the years, he has painted everything from endangered ecosystems in Madagascar to melting glaciers in Antarctica. His artistic journey has even intersected with Hollywood. He created conceptual art for Ang Lee’s Life of Pi, bringing ecological imagination to the silver screen. Recent exhibitions such as Oceanus and Journey to Nature’s Underworld reflect his continued commitment to depicting the climate crisis with emotional and visual depth.
More than a commemorative piece, the Earth Day 2025 poster acts as a clarion call. “It’s a symbol of the future we can build—if we act now,” stated EARTHDAY.ORG. The organisation is spearheading efforts to transition away from fossil fuels by expanding access to solar, wind, hydro, tidal, and geothermal energy. Their mission is clear: to empower global citizens and leaders alike to take tangible, transformative action.
The Power of Posters
Since the very first Earth Day in 1970, when Rauschenberg’s eagle soared above a landscape marred by smoke stacks and endangered wildlife. Earth Day posters have played a vital role in environmental storytelling. These annual artworks do more than capture the zeitgeist—they challenge, inspire, and chronicle humanity’s evolving relationship with the planet.
Rockman’s 2025 contribution stands firmly within that tradition. It reminds us that our most potent resource isn’t just advanced technology; it’s our collective will. It’s creativity harnessed for good, courage in the face of crisis, and communities coming together for a more sustainable world.
