Welcome to the EcoChallenge
We challenge you to choose actions to reduce your impact and stick with it for 2 weeks. You pick your Challenge
and set a goal that stretches your comfort zone and makes a difference for you, your community and the planet.
Common wisdom says it takes two weeks to change a habit: if you can stick with a new behavior for 14 days in a
row, you’re a lot more likely to keep it up forever. EcoChallengers share their progress and earn points for
taking action. The combination of collective inspiration, camaraderie and friendly competition makes change a
little easier — and a lot more fun.

Discover Change, Together.
We believe the solution to the planet’s biggest challenges lies in the power of
collective action.
EcoChallenge gives you the tools and inspiration to reduce your impact on the planet and contribute to a
healthy, vibrant, and sustainable future — while engaging your community and having fun in the process.
Our October EcoChallenge is free and open to everyone, everywhere. In the last year, nearly 15,000 people
participated in 40+ countries. You can also use the power of the EcoChallenge platform to
create a custom Challenge to meet the needs and goals of your workplace, college, or community.
