Green Challenge 365 Educational Calendar

Green Challenge 365 Educational Calendar is an innovative interactive educational tool designed to promote environmental consciousness and forest protection through daily engagement. Developed by Korean designer Sung Ho Nam, this comprehensive environmental awareness system combines traditional calendar functionality with interactive elements to encourage sustainable behaviors and reduce wooden disposable product consumption. The calendar, measuring 510 mm by 625 mm, features a distinctive bare tree illustration that serves as a visual metaphor for environmental growth and responsibility. Users participate by applying leaf-shaped stamps using a provided green ink pad whenever they accomplish specific eco-friendly actions, such as avoiding disposable wooden products or minimizing paper towel usage. This daily ritual transforms the initially bare tree into a progressively greener, more vibrant representation of accumulated environmental consciousness. The design, which earned a Silver A' Design Award in the Social Design category, effectively addresses the critical issue of increased disposable wood product consumption, particularly during the global pandemic period. The calendar's interactive nature creates an engaging educational experience that helps users visualize their cumulative positive impact on forest conservation while fostering long-term sustainable habits. Through its thoughtful combination of visual design, interactive elements, and environmental education, the calendar demonstrates how design can effectively promote social responsibility and environmental stewardship while making complex environmental issues more accessible and actionable for users of all ages.
