Flourishing for the Future

To continue our efforts to be the best company for the world, we’re participating in Plastic-Free July: an annual global movement that helps millions of people to reduce their plastic waste. We invite you to join us in celebrating by hosting your own community based plastic clean up! Gather your communities, head into nature, and become a force for good for our planet by hosting your own plastic clean up to show you care. Post images here to earn credit.

Did you know humans will eat up to 40 pounds of plastic in a lifetime?* That’s not sustainable or healthy! Let’s ditch single-use plastic items and keep our planet and bodies healthy. Eliminate single-use items from a training event, presentation, party, or community event by choosing reusable dishes, silverware, glasses, napkins, and kitchen towels to reduce waste. Share a photo of your setup featuring sustainable choices and earn qualifying points by uploading to this challenge. You'll receive bonus points if you host your event outside or in a natural setting! *https://plasticoceans.org

The climate crisis is one of the world’s most pressing issues, but together we can curb carbon emissions. Instead of driving, get outside and reconnect with nature by riding your bike or walking to your destination. This not only cuts carbon emissions, but also reduces air pollution – ensuring clean air for our communities and our families to breathe! To earn extra points, use this tool, www.footprintcalculator.org, to estimate your individual carbon footprint. Share your biking/walking photos or your footprint calculator results here to earn points.

Take your sustainable healthy living routine to the next level and commit to a Meatless Monday. Load up on your greens and reduce your ecological footprint at the same time. Hint! Shop at your local farmer's market for the freshest ingredients from nature and to show some love for your community’s local businesses. Take a picture of your vegetarian/vegan meal or share your recipe by uploading it to this challenge to earn points.

Reconnecting with nature has been shown to have a variety of positive impacts on mental and physical health and is an important step in sustainable healthy living. In fact, recent studies found that staying close to nature can help improve chronic pain, cardiac illnesses and hypertension.* Get outside and take a walk through nature. In the mountains, the forest, or the beach, the location is up to you — just take some photos of yourself along the way and upload them to this challenge to earn points. *Seymour, V. (2016).

Get your hands dirty with your friends, family and communities. Join us by planning your own gardening event and reconnect with nature while helping to create a healthy planet. Together we can be a force for good for our planet and work to be the best company for the world. HINT! Plant your garden features fruits and vegetables that support our mission of sustainable healthy living. Share your photos and videos with us and earn bonus points towards our annual Flourishing for the Future Award.

Whether it’s time, talent or treasure, we can all give back to our local communities and be a force for good! Post a picture of yourself giving back on your social media tagged with #ArbonneForGood, and then upload a screenshot to earn credit for this challenge. Whether you snap and upload a picture the next time you regularly volunteer at a local non-profit organization, make a donation to the Flourish Arbonne Foundation every time you order on arbonne.com., or create a fundraising page to give back while running your next half marathon – this challenge is for you!

Support the Flourish Arbonne Foundation by participating in one of our activities at any Arbonne event – whether it’s spinning the prize wheel at an Arbonne conference, registering for the service project at the Maui NVP Leadership Meeting, or another fun activity we have up our sleeves – and post a picture of yourself participating on your social media tagged with #ArbonneFoundation.
