Using our deeply researched information and suggested actions, the 1y4e Program guides you in embracing sustainable practices year-round. Over 52 reminders, we support your journey, helping foster environmental leadership and more. You'll receive timely tips, current seasonal foods, and a single quiz question. Simply check the boxes and answer the question to earn points for each week on your personal dashboard.
After creating a basic profile (name and email) your personal dashboard is where you'll engage weekly and track the points earned. Enter each week by clicking on its circle and see how quickly they go by as the colorful (temperature related) circles fill-in and points add up! A total of 5 trees can be reforested simply by doing the 1y4e Journey.
Upon completing the year, you'll receive a digital certificate detailing points earned. Your points are converted into actual trees planted –in your honor– by our certified reforestation partners. These trees will sequester harmful greenhouse gasses for many years to come. Participation is free and empowers positive change now and into the future!

All that's needed are a user name and email to set up a profile and the personal dashboard page enabling your "journey around the sun" with 1y4e.
Participation is free-of-charge. Doing so will help the atmosphere via trees planted upon completion. Let's make a plan and commit to be sustainable for years to come.
Embark on a voyage of discovery as you explore our diverse range of topics, from energy-efficient living and waste reduction strategies to the latest advancements in green technology. Use 1y4e as a bridge to delve deeper into articles on sustainable fashion, conscious consumerism, zero-waste cooking or transit, self-care practices, and much more.
Take a moment to think about your daily routines and choices at home, school, and work. From morning routines to hobbies, every action has an impact on the environment. Consider doing a waste audit at home, school, or workplace.
The Sustainable Action Plan is key:
1. Write down the feasible short, medium, and long-term actions and goals. Allow space to add new items and track progress. Put the short term goals into action immediately with things you can do today while also beginning research and planning or setting up for any long-term goals. Once your plan is underway, remember to reflect on your progress at intervals (use the weekly interaction as a time for this perhaps, and 1y4e will support and remind you too, note savings, satisfaction, or any other metrics.
2. Next, choose and "adopt" an organization you are aligned with and commit to supporting it for a period of 1-3 years with a reasonable percentage of your time and money each year (share the message, sign petitions/campaign, volunteer, and donate).
3. Lastly, join-in or start a community effort in your local area that benefits groups of people. This builds resilience and much more.
Involving friends, family, or other individuals and groups helps everyone to achieve sustainable goals. In sharing your own progress and "leading by doing" you can not only receive encouragement but also inspire others to act. Each step, no matter how small, contributes to a more sustainable world and a healthier future.
