Fossil April Fools' Day coincides with April Fools' Day on April 1st, hence the pun.

This day was created to raise awareness of the environmental concerns arising from the burning of fossil fuels. While they are a cheap and accessible energy source, fossil fuels emit massive amounts of carbon dioxide. This is detrimental to our environment. While some are aware of their adverse effects, many are unaware of how fossil fuels damage our planet. The purpose of Fossil April Fools' Day is to spread knowledge about alternative energy sources and solicit public support to build a sustainable future.
