EPN Celebrated Earth Day 2025 with Gratitude for EPA Staff

This Earth Day, EPN volunteers and staff gathered in Washington, DC, to show appreciation and support for EPA staff who continue to carry out the essential work of protecting our environment and public health—often in the face of daunting challenges.

From early morning cheers at the Federal Triangle Metro to sweet treats and thank-you notes in the EPA courtyard, we aimed to lift spirits and let our former colleagues know that they are seen and appreciated!

A heartfelt thank you to Caroline Petti and Shonali Palacios for organizing these meaningful events—and to everyone who showed up or reached out to support from afar. Whether you joined events in DC or held your own regional celebration, your energy made a difference.
