The Nature Challenge provides an interactive and informative website that promotes 'green' living. The Challenge provides a step-by-step guide that encourages a greener lifestyle and increased sustainability at home, workplace and community. The reader is able to access a variety of environmental topics including how to reduce your carbon footprint, as well as suggestive guides to create green work spaces and eating healthy for the planet. The website is easy to navigate and provides the reader with well informed information, statistics and hands-on activities. The website encourages environmental responsibility from individuals as well as from the Canadian Government. Activism is encouraged by providing an opportunity for the reader to send emails encouraging the Prime Minister to take an increased leadership role on such environmental issues as offshore drilling and banning harmful pesticides. The website features the "Queen of Green" who provides natural product recipes, ranging from shampoo to carpet cleaners. In a era where environmental issues often seem daunting, it is critical to remind the public that it is the small things that often add up to create change for a healthier planet. Not only does this website suggest hands-on activities towards a healthier planet it also proves to be an important catalyst that promotes important discussions and dialogue. "Change begins with Conversation".
I found this website informative and have found myself visiting it daily to explore the Wildlife & Habitat section. I was inspired by the Queen of Green and am going to take on the challenge of making my own shampoo and floor cleaners, I will blog about my experience! The articles were clear and concise and straight to the point. The site promoted great discussions between my partner and myself and have decided that it is time we 're-green' our home once again.
