Sustainability projects are becoming increasingly vital in today's world. As climate change concerns rise, individuals and organizations must play an active role in promoting sustainable practices.

In 2025, more people are recognizing the importance of environmental responsibility. Starting a sustainability project not only helps the planet but also encourages a more resilient community.

Identifying a Sustainability Challenge
