'Think Green … It’s Not Just a Color' email wellness challenge starts Monday

Green with envy. Green around the gills. Do you have a green thumb? The grass is always greener on the other side. Go green or think green. These are common phrases you might think about when you hear the word “green,” but green may also apply to wellness themes.

Join Ohio State University Extension for the “Think Green … It’s Not Just a Color” six-week spring email wellness challenge to learn more about how Ohio State University Extension has tied together a variety of wellness topics.

The email challenge connects participants with tips, research and resources to help blend nature, nutrition, finances, mental wellness and more. Go to https://go.osu.edu/lhlwwayne and answer a few short questions to get registered.

During the week of March 27 registered participants will receive a pre-challenge message. Participants will then receive one email per week from April-May 15. Participants will have access to optional resources including the OSU Extension Live Healthy Live Well Blog, a free Wednesday wellness webinar series and a tracking challenge check list. Pre-and post-challenge online surveys will be used to track participant progress and comments.

“Think Green … It’s Not Just a Color” will challenge participants to explore a variety of ways they can green-up their lives. The program is offered free and is sponsored by OSU Extension.
