What is the Sustainability Challenge?
Cultivating a more sustainable tomorrow starts with today’s young minds. Chipotle with Earth Force bring you the Sustainability Challenge, where young people take action to improve their local food systems through choosing community-based projects like bringing more organic food to their schools or creating local composting initiatives to improve their neighborhood’s soil health. The top thirty submissions have the chance to win up to $1,000 – apply by March 31, 2022. And funding for action projects too!
Need to Know: Visit earthforce.org/csc to get started – the first 100 Action Plans submitted get an extra $100 in implementation money!
Here’s how it works:
- Young people research their community and tell us how they’re going to make their food system more sustainable.
- We’ll review the young people’s budget and distribute money to complete the plan. Action Plan funds are first-come, first-serve with only completed submissions eligible. Apply by January 31 to ensure there is funding available. The first 100 complete submissions will also receive an extra $100.*
- Young people submit their story of how they took action and asked for a change.
- The top 30 submissions will present at the Challenge Showcase! The top 15 submissions will each win $1000 and the top 16-30 submissions will each win $500.*
