Earth Day Is Every Day Virtual Panel

April 22, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET

NSHSS co-founder Claes Nobel, who was known to use “Good Earth to you!” as his favorite greeting, encouraged all of us to treat every day as if it were Earth Day by taking action and doing our part to preserve, protect, and tend to this beautiful planet we call home.

For Earth Day this year, NSHSS will host its annual virtual panel featuring students who have received NSHSS grants or awards for their creative solutions to environmental challenges. During the panel, students will share what inspired them to get involved, the impact they are making in their communities, and simple ways young people and families can help care for the planet every day.

Young Scholars students and parents are invited to join this special virtual Earth Day panel led by inspiring NSHSS student changemakers.

“In the grand scheme of life, the good earth is our most cherished prize. I like to greet people by saying, ‘Good Earth!’ Say it now. Out loud! GOOD EARTH! It feels good. Those positive feelings (caused by endorphins) can help you do great things.” –Claes Nobel, NSHSS Co-founder

Claes Nobel: "Celebrate Earth Day Every Day."

Claes Nobel, of the Nobel Prize family and Co-founder of NSHSS, was a passionate advocate for environmental causes. In fact, his favorite greeting was “Good Earth to you!" He encouraged all of us to treat every day as if it were Earth Day by taking action and doing our part to preserve, protect, and tend to this wonderful planet we call home.
