Please note the following deadlines for the remaining challenges of PGC. If you are interested in applying for the PGC Finals, you must submit all of the following challenges:
“I do not allow myself to be overcome by hopelessness, no matter how tough the situation. I believe that if you just do your little bit without thinking of the bigness of what you stand against,if you turn to the enlargement of your own capacities, just that itself creates new potential.” ~ Vandana Shiva, Environmentalist, Scholar, and Anti-globalization Author
YOU MADE IT. Today marks the start of the final challenge of PGC 2019 and beginning of your next phase as a mobilized agent for change. Over the past month, you have transitioned from conventional YOU to conscious YOU — and through that, you have changed the mindsets of friends, family, campuses, and communities by helping them see through a lens of sustainability, ethics, intention, and positivity. YOU are a changemaker and your individual and collective transformations have been extraordinary to witness.
But your quest to change the world is only just beginning. Where will you go from here? What will you take with you from the PGC experience? For some, your next big step will be the PGC Finals. Others may work with Turning Green as Campus Reps, Conscious College Road Tour hosts, interns or through robust other opportunities. How will you continue to live a life of impact and what will be your role in healing our planet? These are questions to contemplate as you journey forward.
Before you get started on making even bigger waves, we want to thank you for your dedication, magnificent work, creativity, passion, and perseverance throughout October. We know how much work is required for such an in-depth commitment to PGC! Thank you for refusing to accept the status quo, for opening yourself to the possibilities of cultivating a healthy and just planet, for embracing many layers of wide-ranging daily themes, and for being willing to change the course of our future.
You are our hope, and after the ninth annual Project Green Challenge with thousands of students across the United States and around the globe, we can say with great certainty that our future is bright indeed. Here’s to you! Here’s to us!
With gratitude,
The Turning Green Team
Think about yourself pre-PGC, less than one short month ago. Now think about who you are today. How has your perception of the world shifted? Are you making different choices? How have you engaged those around you? How have YOU changed?
We want you to assess just how far you’ve come. On Day 1 you took the PGC Entry Survey. Today we ask you to take the PGC Exit Survey to measure the impact that a month of new found wisdom, education, inspiration and action can have on any individual. We cannot wait to see!
