The Earth Week Challenge is a 7 day challenge to practice sustainability and fight climate change. Each day of the week tackles a different action.
The Challenges

Why did we create the 7 Day Challenge?
We created the 7 Day Challenge to help people practice sustainability through a program that is fun, holistic & easy to follow. Many people ask, “What is the most important action that an individual can take to stop climate change?” The answer to this question is - there is no silver bullet, but there are several important ways you can (1) reduce your own environmental footprint and (2) advocate for systemic change. This is not a one-time challenge, because that is not enough. Our goal is to help you build new behaviors and mindsets that last.
