THINK

Today, you’ve explored the power of grassroots movements and why they are effective. Now, it’s time to apply that knowledge and imagine your own grassroots campaign or initiative. Before you begin, here’s some inspiration.

CHALLENGE

1. Reflect on an Environmental Issue
   Think about an environmental issue that has captivated your attention over the past 26 days. Now, imagine building a campaign to address that issue. Start by exploring these resources on how to build an effective campaign/movement here and here.
2. Organize a Discussion
   Gather a group of friends, community members, school officials, or others to have a conversation about your chosen issue. Create a brief presentation to share your ideas and engage in meaningful discussion.
3. Share Your Insights
   After your meeting, summarize your conversation in an Instagram carousel post. Be sure to tag @TurningGreenOrg and highlight key takeaways from your discussion.
4. Address Key Questions
   In your presentation, try to answer the following questions, but feel free to tailor it to your community and values:
   • Who does the issue impact? Why does this population matter to the people you’re meeting with?
   • What is your objective, and how can you ensure your work is relevant and effective?
   • How can you create a solution that’s big enough to make a difference?
   • How would you create opportunities for others to get involved?
5. Gather Feedback
   After your meeting, ask some of your participants to share their thoughts on the conversation. We’d love to hear reflections from both them and you!

Don’t forget to post a summary of your conversation on Instagram, tagging @TurningGreenOrg, and share how you’re taking steps toward becoming an eco-hero. Grassroots activism starts with a few individuals and grows into a movement—this is your chance to spark change!
