Ecochallenge - Food

Ecochallenge - Food

Description: (digital platform that gamifies behavior change) Instructors - all ages. 

Contents: Fun challenges encourage new habits. Small steps lead to big change. Together, we build a more sustainable world.

Food challenge: Eating is an essential natural process for all living organisms, yet our globalized systems offers us limited awareness of how our eating habits impact ourselves, let alone the rest of the world -- including other humans, animals, and ecosystems. The choices people make every day about what to eat are far reaching and provide a clear and hopeful opportunity for change.
