No fluff, just action. Let’s dive in!

🗞️ In the news

🤯 Did you know? 55% of global GDP—roughly $58 trillion—moderately or highly depends on healthy ecosystems.

🌱 When nature thrives, economies thrive. But biodiversity loss is putting everything at risk.

⬇️ Yesterday (March 3rd) was World Wildlife Day, and this year’s focus is on funding biodiversity—because protecting nature means protecting our future.

We have to start by addressing the elephant in the room! Meat’s massive carbon footprint:

🌍 38% of Earth’s land is used for agriculture.

🐄 77% of that land is dedicated to livestock (including feed crops).

💨 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from livestock.

Now that we’ve got that off our chest, let’s dive into some easy-to-make, healthy, and eco-friendly meals to get you inspired. 🍽️💚

Awareness: 🚯 Most takeaway coffee cups can’t be recycled because they have a hidden plastic lining that makes them waterproof—but also difficult to process in recycling facilities.

Action: ☕ Many coffee shops started offering discounts when you bring your own reusable cup! Save money, cut waste, and sip sustainably. ♻️

The Eco-Challenges are here to help us build real sustainable habits. Here’s how to make them stick:

✅ Commit – That little voice saying, "This won’t make a difference"? Ignore it. Instead, imagine millions of people adopting the same habits.

📝 Plan – Some challenges might feel like too much work at first, but with a little planning, they will easily fit into your daily routine.

🎯 Execute – Try it once. Then again. Before you know it, you’ve built a sustainable habit that sticks.
