Join the Sustain Fairfax Challenge and see how your everyday actions can make a big difference on the environment and your community’s well-being. The launch of the challenge web app coincides with Sustain Fairfax, a public awareness campaign to foster environmental stewardship and promote sustainable practices among county residents and businesses.
“The climate crisis is real, and its effects will worsen if we don’t act now,” said Jeffrey C. McKay, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors. “Simple lifestyle changes like conserving energy at home, composting food waste, driving electric vehicles or using public transportation can make a big difference in helping us create a greener, healthier future. Not only do these actions help the environment, but they also save money, improve our health and support the local economy."
During the challenge, you can track your efforts to make changes and invite friends, groups and other communities to join you in adopting changes. The app lists various climate solutions and how shows how adopting simple actions in your daily life can positively affect the environment. The challenge fosters community engagement, allowing residents to connect with friends and neighbors, share tips and celebrate their successes together.
With the Sustain Fairfax Challenge you can:
- Explore activities tailored to your household.
- Select the actions that you want to make and adopt.
- Track your impact and progress over time.
- Find a variety of resources such as rebates and how-to guides, including programs and resources available to Fairfax County residents.
The user-friendly web app is available in both English and Spanish and provides easy access to actions that suit different lifestyles, whether one is a homeowner or a renter.
