This year’s theme, “For Earth, For Each Other, For Tomorrow,” is about fostering hope and inspiring action for a better future. Once you join our team, please select actions that resonate with your values, committing to them for 30 days to foster and reinforce positive habits. Each action you complete earns points and generates real-world impact in creating a more sustainable and equitable world – one where people and nature thrive together.

REGISTER HERE

You may choose as little as just one action, or any number of actions you can handle (we suggest you keep your total actions to five or less for simplicity and easy management).

The Six Main Action Categories offered in this EcoChallenge are:

1. Land, Water, and Air

2. Wildlife

3. Community and Connection

4. Empowering the Next Generation

5. Health and Well-Being

6. Sustainable Innovation

We must always remember that our Strength is in our Numbers! The solution to our planet’s biggest challenges lies in the power of our collective action. By taking action in our own lives and inspiring the people around us, each of us makes an impact!
