Hillsborough Climate Challenge (HCC) is a month-long series of events for all ages occurring at venues all over town with the goal of presenting practical and accessible things people can do in their everyday lives to combat climate change.

Stop by to chat and for information about making climate conscious food choices. For all ages.
Food Systems, which are made up of all the activities and everyday decisions involved in how we produce and consume food, have a major impact on our climate and environment, accounting for nearly one-third of greenhouse gas emissions, 90% of land-use change, and 70% of water use globally. These Hillsborough Climate Challenge pop-up events aim to present visitors of all ages with simple, accessible ideas for making your food choices more climate conscious, such as:
Meatless Monday | a global movement that encourages people to skip meat at least one week a to improve health and the environment
- Shop Small, Seasonal, & Local | an initiative that encourages people to support their health, the environment, and their community by buying food -- including meat -- from small, local producers and eating foods when they in season.
This program is a Green Literacy learning event that encourages people of all ages to enjoy nature, learn about the environment, and build earth-friendly habits. Click here for a list of upcoming Green Literacy events.
