Project Drawdown – #DrawdownEcoChallenge

As Earth Day approaches you may be wondering how you can help reduce your impact on the environment. You may feel overwhelmed with all of the suggested actions to reduce your footprint and that is okay – you are not alone! Luckily, there are authors such as Paul Hawken, who have worked to simplify sustainability. His Project Drawdown is the most comprehensive plan ever proposed to reduce global warming. Not only that, his plan uses technology and actions that already exist – we do not have to wait for the future to solve our problems.

This Earth Day, support Northwest Earth Institute’s #DrawdownEcoChallenge by using one of these strategies or actions in your work/home. Click captions below to find out more information:
