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.

How do you participate in the 7 Day Challenge?
