To educate
We inform young people with a passion to change the world. Standing for eco sustainable and socially responsible choices, practices and communities means learning the facts, valuing ethics, using your voice, assessing surroundings, investigating impacts, and sharing solutions. To empower
We believe that a conscious mindset and thoughtful perspective are critical in today’s society. Choose wisely, lead with purpose and passion, realize the connections among people and planet, and empower diverse peer groups to grow our global voice — because together we thrive. To mobilize
We see individuals as catalysts for the change that our world needs at every level. Ideate, innovate, and find inspiration to rise up, challenge injustice, demand transparency, and shake up systems that oppress, poison, or fail.

Three weeks of Project Green Challenge 2026 are in the books — and we have another holiday today!

You’ve turned learning into action and individual choices into collective impact. Around the world, thousands of students are taking this journey alongside you — asking questions, rethinking habits, sharing ideas, and creating change.

Today, take a moment to appreciate all that you’ve accomplished and the community we are cocreating. Pause, recharge, and restore.

We look forward to Day 22 tomorrow!

PGC IRL! 🧑🏻‍🏫🗣️👩🏾‍🏫🌎 Project Green Challenge is about climate action, climate justice and climate education in the real world. Participants are taking daily challenges off of the screen and into classrooms across 96 nations this year! We’re proud to see these young leaders inspire, inform and mobilize many more students in their communities worldwide. Here is a roundup of but a few Project Green Challengers delivering classroom presentations on climate justice to peers and the next generation… in Ghana, Iran, Uzbekistan, India, Turkey, Bangladesh, the United States, the list goes on. The impact of PGC and reach of our environmental movement continues to grow, as it can, should and must!

How often do you pause to think about the ethics behind the products you use every day? We're talking FAIR TRADE with Project Green Challenge Day 20. From the chocolate in your pantry to the cotton in your clothes, the tea in your cup to the gold in your jewelry, global supply chains connect us to millions of workers and countless ecosystems. Too often, those supply chains depend on poverty wages, unsafe conditions, forced or child labor, and environmental harm. Behind familiar items are stories of exploitation — but also opportunities to create something better.

Of course, certification alone cannot solve systemic injustice. Only a small portion of global products — from cacao to cotton to coffee — are currently certified, and many workers still earn less than a living income. Deforestation, toxic chemicals, and weak supply-chain transparency remain major challenges. Yet change is possible when consumers, institutions, and businesses demand it. Every purchase can send a powerful message: exploitation is unacceptable and sustainability is non-negotiable.

Next time you shop, look for Fair Trade certification or trusted ethical ratings. Small decisions, multiplied across communities, can reshape supply chains and help build a world where every product supports dignity, justice, and sustainability at every step.

Plant based, the theme of today’s challenge, relates to everything and is part of the solution to many climate crises we face. Project Green Challengers are making connections, as team Enviro-Mentors shares.

“We researched Earth Overshoot Day, the date when humanity’s demand for resources exceeds what Earth can regenerate in that year. We then explored solutions that can help move Earth Overshoot Day back.

Our commitment to is to eat more plant-based meals each week and try new recipes so we can make these changes consistently. These small steps can help reduce our ecological footprints and conserve Earth’s natural resources.

We also plan to petition our school to introduce to encourage more sustainable eating habits in the community. Together, our everyday choices can help create a more sustainable future!”

The way we eat shapes the world around us. Rising meat consumption has placed growing pressure on the planet — contributing to climate change, habitat loss, and animal suffering. Choosing more plant-based foods offers a hopeful path forward: one that nourishes your body, reduces harm, and celebrates a wide range of flavors and nutrients. This , PLANT BASED is our focus for Project Green Challenge Day 19.

The impact is serious, but change is possible. Today, the global plant-based food market is projected to surpass $95 billion by 2030, showing a continued rise in consumer demand and innovation. Even small steps count. Skipping meat one day a week can save thousands of gallons of water, protect forests, and cut your carbon footprint. Because access to healthy, plant-based food isn’t equal everywhere, closing those gaps is key to building a fair and sustainable food system.

Every plant-based meal is an act of care — for your health, for animals, for communities, and for the Earth we share. Together, our choices can shape a just, thriving, and climate-resilient future.

“If we really lived as if we loved the future and all the possibilities it holds, I think everyone would care a little more.” We’re immensely grateful for the perspectives of Project Green Challengers. Listen to Team EcoEchoes‘s takeaways: “I love having hope for the optimism it brings, but it can also give us a false sense of security with our warming climate and degradation of our natural world. Listening to the podcast with Dr. Johnson was incredibly insightful and gave my team and me a new perspective on how we approach the climate crisis. For every potential action we do or don’t do, we can choose to take the step towards a greener future.”

The outdoors is everywhere: a shaded bench in a city park, a winding trail through the woods, a neighborhood garden, or a vast mountain range. And we're going there for Project Green Challenge Day 18! Whether it’s a short walk or a weekend in the wilderness, time outside restores us, sharpens our minds, and deepens our connection to the world around us.

The outdoors belongs to all of us. Caring for nature means more than protecting land — it means protecting people, honoring ancestral ties, and ensuring everyone has the chance to thrive outside. When diverse voices and experiences are embraced, we create healthier people, stronger communities, and a more resilient planet.

Oceans are a gift. What are YOU doing to support our waters? 🌊 Listen to Project Green Challenger Hability for inspiration: “Climate change is slowly killing our oceans as CO2 levels rise, which makes the ocean more acidic and causes coral bleaching. Most of the world’s most colorful corals are at risk of becoming white and lifeless. Even small steps can help, such as not touching when you’re diving. However, there is still possibility for recovery; we all need to do our part. We hope to see coral reefs restored to colorful havens and we want to see the recovery of wildlife and biodiversity.”

Day 17 is another well-earned holiday in Project Green Challenge!

More than halfway through October, you’ve explored, questioned, learned, acted, and challenged yourself to see the world in new ways. Each day has been an opportunity to discover what matters to you and how you can make a difference.

Today, take time to reconnect with what brought you here. Rest, reflect, spend time with people you love, get outside, or simply make space for yourself.

We’ll be back tomorrow for Day 18 to keep moving forward with purpose.
