NCW EcoChallenge

May 13 - May 26, 2017

Small Actions Add Up to Real Change!

During the NCW EcoChallenge we challenge you to change a habit that benefits you, your community and the planet. You choose your challenges, then earn points for completing them, connecting with your community and sharing your story. Your points will add up to demonstrate your impact, and help your team win the NCW EcoChallenge 2017 competition.

Participants can select up to 8 “daily actions” and up to 8 “one-time actions”. The more actions you complete, the more points you earn!

Forget to take action one day? Don’t worry, you can still earn points if you go online and record the fact you DIDN’T complete any actions. Going online EVERY DAY will earn you points!

Forgot to go online one day? Don’t worry, you can go online and record yesterday’s actions! (You can only go back one day, so don’t forget to go online every day!)

Here’s an idea of how you can earn points during the challenge.
