At ACHS, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a core part of our mission. As an institution committed to holistic health and wellness, we recognize the interconnectedness of people, nature, and the environment. That’s why we’re proud to participate in the 2025 Earth Month Ecochallenge as the Eco Ambassadors team. This month-long initiative aligns with our institutional values and allows our community to come together in support of the health of our planet.

What is the Earth Month Ecochallenge?

Running from April 1st to April 30th, the Earth Month Ecochallenge is a 30-day program that invites participants to take part in actions that promote environmental sustainability and social engagement. The challenge offers a wide range of action categories to choose from, including:

  • Land, Water & Air
  • Wildlife
  • Community and Connection
  • Empowering the Next Generation
  • Health & Wellbeing
  • Sustainable Innovation

This year’s theme, “For Earth, For Each Other, For Tomorrow,” emphasizes hope, action, and a collective effort to create a better future. Through daily actions and shared learning, participants can make a real-world impact, contributing to a more sustainable and equitable world where both people and nature can thrive together.

In previous years, our faculty, staff, and students have logged daily actions, raised awareness about environmental issues, and made a meaningful contribution to the well-being of our planet. Whether it’s reducing waste, conserving water, supporting wildlife, or empowering others in the community, each small action has the power to create a ripple effect for a better tomorrow.

This year, our Eco Ambassadors team has 39 dedicated participants, including faculty, staff, and students, all working together to make a lasting difference. By logging daily or one-time actions, each participant contributes to our team’s collective impact. From reducing plastic use and taking shorter showers to practicing mindful meditation and auditing toxic products in the home, our team members are taking tangible steps toward a greener future.
