We try better was founded to help people recognize their power—that everyone can make a difference in our world’s challenges. Small actions add up, rewiring your mindset to not only boost happiness through purpose, but also uncover new ways to ‘try better.’ Monthly Earth Day has been core to this mission from the start.
