Join the Challenge
Make your home healthier, save money, and help the planet
The Green Home Challenge is made up of themed challenges. For each challenge, you'll choose from three options for a small project or daily activity to complete at home. Pick the difficulty level that’s right for you.
How long is the Green Home Challenge?
We suggest aiming to complete one challenge a week. Choose to complete two, four, or six challenges to earn your desired level. You'll have access to the Challenge for two months so you have time to complete everything even if you miss a couple weeks.
Who should take the Green Home Challenge?
The Green Home Challenge is for anyone who wants to make their household more sustainable. Whether you rent or own, there will be actions you can complete. The challenge is designed for adults, but you're welcome to play along as a family.
What will I do in the Challenge?
You'll choose from activities like hunting down energy vampires, banishing junk mail, and casting out dangerous cleaning products.
I've done the Green Home Challenge before, should I participate again?
The format is a little different this year, since you'll choose your own adventure from a pool of options. Some of the options will be from past Challenges, while others may be new. Feel free to pick and choose just the new activities you're interested in, or just complete the Mini Quests.
I don't live in Kirkland, can I participate?
Absolutely! All of the actions are able to be completed no matter where you live. We welcome our neighbors in Redmond, Bellevue, Bothell and beyond to join in!
What past participants thought
It’s been fun to see what small and fairly easy changes we have been able to make so far to become more green.
It was helpful to have tasks in writing with suggestions on how to accomplish them!
Great ideas and simple steps to make positive changes for the environment :)
Go green at home
