"Each year on April 22 Google's homepage marks the occasion of Earth Day. Most
of the time, these interactive logos are a celebration of our planet and its
ecosystems, but this year, after a particularly devastating international
climate report, the Google Doodle has taken a stark turn.
In 2018, the Earth Day doodle featured the hopeful work of conservationist Jane
Goodall. In 2019, the doodle showcased several awe-inspiring organisms, like
the wandering albatross and the coastal redwood.
In 2020, the homepage was abuzz with the pollinating power of bees. And in
2021, Google users were reminded of the intergenerational overstory of trees.
But this year there are no cute characters dancing around on Google's homepage
teaching us how to be good stewards of our planet. In fact, there are no
illustrations at all.
Instead, users are confronted with the stark reality of our rapidly changing
planet."
