Apple’s Earth Day activity challenge returns on April 22nd

Apple will soon be offering its smartwatch users the chance to earn a new special badge, as long as they log 30 or more minutes of exercise on Earth Day.

If you complete the workout on Wednesday April 22nd, the tech giant will reward you. You’ll get a shiny new icon in the Activity app and a custom iMessage stickers. As usual, the exercise will need to be recorded in the Fitness app or in any app that can send data to the Health app.

This Earth Day, April 22, record any 30 minute workout with the Workout app or any app that records workouts to Health to earn this award. The earth will think the world of you.

The challenge should become visible to Apple Watch owners in the week ahead. It will read something like “Let’s get moving and celebrate the planet” when it becomes available.

First celebrated back in 1970, Earth Day was founded to demonstrate support for environmental protection. Events in nearly 200 countries are now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network. This year, the focus will be on providing information and inspiration needed to change human attitude and behavior about plastics.

Apple does not hold a challenge every year for Earth Day. But it has done this several times in the past. For added motivation, this year users will also get a few shiny animated stickers.

The last challenge was on February 14th. That one also required users put in thirty minutes of exercise on the day. So essentially, we are getting a repeat of the same.
