VIDEO CHALLENGE – BEGAN: 01.01.2021, ENDS: 31.03.2021
As Rotarians, Rotaractors and Interactors, you are no stranger to working to make the world a better place together with likeminded people.
Now we are facing a brand new set of challenges, helping fix the environment and the future for us all.
Rotary International has risen to that challenge by declaring a new seventh Area Of Focus – “Protecting the Environment”
But how?
In ESRAG – The Environmental Sustainability Rotary Action Group – we are working together to provide a platform for the Rotary family around the world to get engaged.
Our challenge is to create a video, ideally seventy seconds long (but no more than 100 seconds), where you show us an environmental project you are working with, have worked with, or are planning to work with.
Publish that video to this site (www.ifixtheplanet.org), and when that is done, look around and see what your fellow Rotarians are doing.
Then vote for the videos you like best.
Challenge your club members to do the same. Challenge everyone!
The more votes we get, the more people see and get inspired from our films, the more we will all help fix the planet with this competition.
In three months time, a representative jury of the Rotary family will select a group of winners from the top voted.

President 2020-21
April 2021
This year, we celebrate Earth Day on 22 April with a new sense of purpose. The environment is now an area of focus for Rotary. Solutions for all great tasks always start with you and me, and there is much we as individuals can do simply by changing our behavior: Cutting down on our use of plastic and using energy wisely are just two examples. But now we have the opportunity to do more together.
Jennifer E. Jones, a member of the Rotary Club of Windsor-Roseland, Ontario, Canada, has been nominated to become Rotary International’s president for 2022-23, a groundbreaking selection that will make her the first woman to hold that office in the organization’s 115-year history.
Jones will officially become president-nominee on 1 October if no other candidates challenge her.
