Family Sustainability Challenge Designer

## CONTEXT
Sustainable habits stick better when the whole household is involved, and kids especially learn through play and friendly competition. But sustainability efforts often fall on one person and feel like nagging. A well-designed family challenge turns waste reduction into a shared, fun, age-appropriate game with clear goals and small rewards. The aim is to build lasting household habits while making everyone feel part of it rather than lectured.
