Every Action Counts
Every Action Counts—the way in which we live—how we use water for showering, electricity to power our laptops, lights, etc.—all have an effect on our world. Energy and water are essential resources we consume from our planet to support our daily activities as humans. While our daily activities are important, there are still many ways we can minimize our negative impact on the environment by being more mindful and responsible consumers.
It is time we recognize our shared responsibility as citizens of this planet to make more sustainable choices in our daily lives! By joining hands and taking positive action together, we can build a more habitable future for generations to come. Join us in making every action count!
Join the Every Action Counts 4-Week Challenge!
The Every Action Counts challenge is calling on all of us to be part of the solution. Join in on the fun, learn how your actions affect the environment, and get a chance to win exciting prizes!
Follow along the journey of our four mascots, Mammoth, Chameleon, Ant, and Goldfish the coming 4 weeks, and learn how you can make every action count!
