ABOUT EARTH MONTH ECOCHALLENGE

Earth Month Ecochallenge 2022: Sustainable Development Goals is a behavior change program that helps you take action to create a healthier world. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations are a commitment to achieving sustainable development across three dimensions — environmental, social and economic — in an inclusive and integrated way.

For the month of April 2022, we put the SDGs into action to create substantial positive impact. Together, we build a sustainable world and a healthy planet.

"We all deserve clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and a stable climate to live in."

"My ‘Why?’ I’m here to help build better sustainability practices, create awareness and inspire others — a better future means a better world for my kids and for their future. I’m excited to do so here with my family, my friends and Starbucks! 💚"

— Gina

"Let’s do this for each other and everyone! Mama Earth’s not happy!!
She deserves our best!!!!"

— Lorraine

"I grew up in a forest and I have witnessed its deterioration and the disappearance of many species, so I am really worried about the world we are leaving our children. My son is much more environmentally aware than I was when I was his age so he and I decided to form a team to contribute as much as we can to revert all the damage we have done to the earth and the Ecochallenge has given us a great guidance for this purpose. Thank you!"

"Making a difference in how we care for one another & our planet is something we can all be a part of! I want to do my part in making that difference by thoughtfully making choices that will help to promote a eco-friendly environment and be supportive of all people."

"I joined to learn more, slow down to reflect and make a positive difference, however small, to help preserve our beautiful planet for our next generation(s). "

— Jim

"Yesterday was just my first day doing the challenge. I'm excited that some of the goals are things that I'm already doing... but I like that the challenging is reinforcing me to continue with and/or build upon those activities. I'm also excited about some new challenges that hadn't really occurred to me or that I hadn't previously made time for."

— Stacey

"Earth Day is almost here
That's a very good reason to give out a cheer
To recycling, composting, and many more ways
Let the spirit of Earth Day carry on for endless days!"

— Erik

"Once again, I really enjoyed the Ecochallenge! Last year I learned a lot and was able to keep up most of the habits I practiced. I loved this year's focuses and the balance between the learning front and the day-to-day action front. I think the habits that the Ecochallenge has prompted me to begin will stick around!"
