Starting on World Oceans Day (June 8), we invite you to participate in the Climate-Friendly Challenge with us! This 13-week challenge will give you the opportunity to make one change each week in an effort to lower your carbon footprint, ultimately becoming climate-friendly! Afterwards, we hope you’ll consider what worked best for your household and continue being climate-friendly by adopting some of these lifestyle changes long-term.

We all can make a difference and determine what type of world we want to leave for future generations. The solution is in our hands.
