Introduction: Embrace the Transformation

Can you believe there is only one day left of your 30-day Project Green Challenge experience? You are about to step into the next phase as a mobilized agent of change. Over the past month, you have transitioned from conventional to conscious living—shifting the mindsets and habits of your friends, family, and communities by championing sustainability, justice, ethics, intention, and positivity. Your individual and collective efforts have been extraordinary, and now, we want to hear your story!
