3. Give Up To Give Back
As mankind is taking a break from the hustle, nature is starting to reclaim its space and heal. The Give Up To Give Back challenge nudges people to make simple eco-friendly changes to their lifestyle like saving electricity, conserving water and more. People are posting beautiful videos of how much bluer the waters are and animals reinhabiting overpopulated regions which are now empty due to the pandemic.
4. See 10 Do 10
The See 10 Do 10 challenge is a great way to promote fitness and stay healthy during the quarantine period. People are posting videos of themselves doing 10 push-ups and nominating their friends to carry on the challenge. Some people are taking push-ups to a whole new level by getting their dog or baby to sit on their backs while they work out.
