POINTS: ACTIONS + VALUES

During the Save the Food San Diego EcoChallenge, we encourage you to create habits that benefit you, your community and the environment. You choose your challenge and earn points for completing your actions, engaging your community, and sharing your story. Your points will add up during the challenge to help your team win competitions. Don’t forget to select the “I already do this” option on actions you’re already working - you get points just for being proactive!
