THE PARADIGM CHALLENGE PROJECTS
- HOME FIRES: Fire is Everyone’s Fight. Home fires occur every 90 seconds and take more lives than earthquakes, hurricanes, and tornadoes combined.
- WASTE REDUCTION: The Earth is everyone’s responsibility. Everything that we need for our survival and well-being depends, either directly or indirectly, on our natural environment.
- PERSONAL HEALTH: Wellness and healing are good for everyone. Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
- FOOD SECURITY: Everyone’s part of the food system. Food security exists when all people, at all times, have physical, social, and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life.
- BIODIVERSITY: Biodiversity is essential to everyone. It is the variety of life on Earth, including plants, animals, micro-organisms, and the ecosystems they inhabit. Biodiversity is currently being lost at unprecedented rates due to human activities that degrade or encroach on habitats, increase pollution, and contribute to climate change.
- WHAT’S NEXT: The topic for the next Challenge Project will be announced after the current Challenge deadline.
