TASKS

Participating in this challenge supports one of Rotary’s seven areas of focus: Protecting the Environment. We created this challenge as a way to bring Rotarians and Rotaractors together to take action. The challenge starts with World Rotaract Week and ends in April celebrating Environment Month.

Do your part to keep our communities clean

Participate in a community clean up, or pick up litter you see when you’re out and about.

Reuse your water bottle

Each day, people in the U.S. throw away more than 60 million plastic water bottles.

Enjoy nature!

Take a break from work and stress, and go for walk, a bike ride, or even plan a picnic.

Bring your own bag(s) when you go shopping

100 billion plastic bags  are used annual by consumers in the U.S.

Support local farmers

Head to a farmer’s market to pick up local produce.

Give back to the environment

Plant a tree or some flowers in your garden or within your community. 

Get creative and upcycle

Instead of throwing something out, find a way to upcycle it by using it for something else. (i.e. plastic to-go boxes make for great lunch bag containers)

Pack your lunch instead of getting take out

A person can create around 67 lbs. of waste annually from single-use packaging.  Packing a lunch using reusable containers can help reduce that.   

Say no to the plastic straw!

It is estimated that 8.3 BILLION plastic straws pollute our world’s beaches.  It is also estimated that it can take up to 200 YEARS to decompose.

Donate things you no longer use/need.

Spring cleaning is here, but before you throw out something, ask yourself if  someone else could use it. Donating things reduces the impact of waste disposal.
