 A unique, web-based
application specifically
designed for teams
of employees, students, congregations, and other groups of people
working individually and together to reduce their climate impact..
Through our 10
Step Challenge,
people are
empowered to take action, not merely make pledges. Our role is like
that of a personal trainer–helping participants shed those
unwanted pounds (of carbon dioxide), but without all the push ups.
We help participants
and their families set personal goals, choose
actions that are right for them, and offer support through each step of
the process.
The hardest changes to make are not necessarily the most costly, but
rather those that require a shift in behavior. Climate Champions
includes a unique system of reminders that transform daily
behaviors and alerts people when it’s time to revisit an
action.
People who enroll in
the program are:
- Given
a climate
score based on how much energy they use at home, their
driving and flying habits, and lifestyle choices.
- Presented
with a customized Climate
Action Plan of 10 items that suit
their circumstances and have a real impact.
- Supported
to complete each action through a 360˚
approach of know-how, tools, support, products, and
incentives to both make and maintain change.
- Connected
to support networks
that provide participants with opportunities to join in collective
goals, share their personal stories, exchange ideas and make friends.
- Recognized
for their accomplishments as both an individual and the
group as a whole.
- Encouraged
to go beyond
by engaging friends and
family, contacting elected representatives, or helping
“cool” their office/school/congregation.
We
anticipate on average a 15%
reduction in greenhouse gas emissions per household that
completes the 10
Step Challenge--the equivalent of taking one car off the
road for a year.
