MAD Challenges

Wild events for good reasons.

While we are unable to gather and celebrate Mad Seat 2020 - which was meant to have been this weekend - we can still look back at some of the memories created from past Mad Seat events. We miss you all and can't wait to start planning again. Stay safe and healthy everyone!

Want to fund a *MAD* idea?

@mad_challenges used #2050x funding to create "MAD Seat" where people run up and down Arthur's Seat for 6, 12 or 24 hours to collect #ClimateAction pledges!

Tomorrow is the last day to submit your 2050x application!

Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay! This year's theme is #Biodiversity - the foundation supporting all life and land. It is especially important due to the major bushfires in Australia and the US as well as the COVID-19 pandemic.

How are you observing today?

Today marks 50 years of #EarthDay! As we are spending more time indoors, it has made us more appreciative of Earth's natural beauty. We hope this year allows us to reflect on how we are a part of the Earth and not the owners of it. How are you celebrating today? #EarthDay2020

#EarthHour went online for the first time in its history! Cities, communities, and people switched lights off in a brilliant way to spark conversation about climate change.

See the link below for a slideshow of how the world celebrated Earth Hour 2020:

After careful consideration, we will be cancelling Mad Seat this year. This was not an easy decision to make, but we must consider the COVID-19 situation and we cannot put participants' health at risk.

Tickets have been refunded via EventBrite.

Please stay safe, everyone!❤️

Today is Time to Talk Day! There are many ways to improve mental well-being when you're feeling low, and one way we love to do this is to be out in nature. Research shows positive benefits of getting outdoors, such as improving wellbeing and productivity. 🏞️#mentalhealth

A very big thank you to CMS Edinburgh for having us on their panel last night speaking about #sustainability and how we can encourage others to learn more and incorporate eco-friendly habits in our lives. #cmswomen
