Take the 30 x 30 Outdoor Challenge and Earn Be in the Know Points

News from April 4, 2023

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, Americans spend approximately 90% of their time indoors. Researchers have been documenting what many of us know intuitively: that nature is good for our health and well-being. You can reap these benefits by participating in Penn Sustainability’s annual 30x30 Outdoor Challenge and some exciting Earth Week activities. 

This month-long wellness event sponsored by Penn Sustainability and Human Resources welcomes the whole Penn community to spend time outdoors, learn about local ecology, and appreciate the beauty of nature. The challenge runs from April 1 through April 30. Each day during April, Be in the Know participants are challenged to spend at least 30 minutes outside. If you achieve the April 30x30 Outdoor Challenge for 21 out of 30 days and track your progress on the Virgin Pulse platform, you will earn 750 points for the 2022-2023 Be in the Know wellness campaign.
