Day 29

Reflect

How have your actions and mindset shifted over the course of Project Green Challenge?

OVERVIEW

Can you believe that there is only one day left of your 30-day Project Green Challenge experience? You will soon be at the start of your next phase as a mobilized agent of change. Over the past month, you have transitioned from conventional to conscious — and through your work, shifting the mindsets and habits of friends, family,  and communities by championing a lens of sustainability, justice, ethics, intention, and positivity. Your individual and collective explorations, discoveries, and advocacy have been extraordinary to witness. We now want to hear your story!

CHALLENGE

Green

20 POINTS

THINK

Think about your pre-PGC self, the you of less than a mere month ago. Now think about who you are today. How have your perceptions of the world shifted? Are you making different choices? In what ways have you engaged those around you? Have you changed? If so, please share!


CHALLENGE

We want you to assess how far you’ve come on your PGC journey. On Day 1, you took the PGC Entry Survey. Today, we ask you to take the PGC Exit Survey to measure the impact that 30 days of newfound wisdom, education, inspiration and action can have on one individual. We look forward to seeing your responses!  

Post on Instagram about the most significant change you see in yourself as a result of PGC. Use any medium or visuals you wish. Tag @TurningGreenOrg and #PGC2023.
