DAY 1Find one ESG claim
Find a company's sustainability claim on a product, advert, or website. Write down exactly what it promises and what evidence it gives.
DAY 2Read the risk, not the slogan
Pick a company you use every day. List one environmental, one social, and one governance risk that could hurt it financially.
DAY 3Trace your electricity
Find out roughly how the electricity in your region is generated. What share is coal, gas, solar, wind, hydro, or nuclear?
DAY 4Compare two ratings
Look up any public ESG information for one company from two different sources. Do they agree? If not, can you tell why?
DAY 5Spot an electrification
Find something in your daily life that has switched from fuel to electricity, or could. What stopped or helped the switch?
DAY 6Find a quiet change
Look for a company or institution doing climate work without shouting about it. Why might it keep quiet?
DAY 7Write your one-paragraph thesis
In one paragraph, answer: what is the single biggest thing that decides how fast the energy transition happens? Defend it.
