The personal challenge was to plant trees and hold community meetings about climate change. The challenge was difficult but interesting, teaching about climate, nature, and environmental interdependence. Friends and family were supportive, helping with tree planting and community meetings. The challenge was deemed successful for increasing awareness of climate change and the importance of trees. Going forward, the individual aims to continue inspiring more people to get involved to tackle climate change at a larger scale. Individual actions can make a difference and influence others, though collective effort is needed to make a bigger impact.

1. Summarize what your personal challenge is in one, brief sentence.
The personal challenge was planting trees and community meetings to give knowledge about climate change. 2. Did you find your challenge to be easy or difficult? Why? The challenge was bit difficult though interesting because due to this we learnt so many things about climate, Nature and its interaction and dependency on other living forms. 3. How did other people (i.e., friends, family, strangers, etc.) react to your personal challenge? My family and friends were really supportive about this challenge. My friends and family helped me with planting trees in my backyard. My friends helped me with the conduction of community meetings. 4. Based on your chosen criteria, would you deem your challenge to be successful? Explain. Yes, I feel the challenge to be successful because this helped me, my friends and many other people to understand about and get aware about climate change, how it is affecting the earth and its future as well as the importance of tree in tackling with the issue of climate change. 5. What will you do now that the challenge is over? Continue your challenge? Modify it? Try something different? Go back to 'business as usual'? Why? For me, this challenge will never end as it helped me to understand so many things and due to this many people got aware of climate change and importance of trees on earth. So, I will try to inspire more and more people about it as well as include them with this work so that I can take this challenge to a bigger level. 6. After this experience, do you think individual action matters in the mitigation of climate change? What other actions could help make a bigger difference? Think back to the ideas discussed in the "Is Your Carbon Footprint BS?" podcast assigned in week 1. Yes, I think individual action can make a difference though at minute level but with its outcome one can influence and inspire to make change in their lives too and can keep their carbon footprint in check.
