Challenges on YouSustain are geared towards small actions or changes to try out various ways of becoming more sustainable. Join a challenge or create one yourself. Invite your friends to become more sustainable. Start a challenge among your co-workers.
A challenge can be as simple as "Don't drive your car for one day" or "Eat only local food for one day." Harder challenges could be "Reduce your household energy use by 20% for one month." Challenges should generally have a short time-period (a few days to a month) so they are more attainable as a way of promoting more people to become sustainable.
