In 2012, the Buddhist Council of NSW is launching an "Eco-friendly Temples Challenge", which includes elements of ARRCC's Eat Less Meat campaign.
 The challenge will consist of two parts:
1. Vegetarian Food Challenge
An invitation to all Buddhist communities in Australia to join in by serving only vegetarian food in the community centres. Many Buddhist temples/monasteries are already fully vegetarian so the aim is to encourage the remaining templates to join too.

2. Eco-Home Challenge
A series of train-the-trainer eco/sustanbility traingning workshops, run in partnership with the Ethnic Communities Council of NSW. The training will include information about how lower meat consumption benefits the environment.

They are also hoping to include a third part:
3. Eco-friendly Gardens Challenge
In support of the International Decade for Biodiversity Conservation, this challenge is focused on helping Buddhist communities identify noxious weeds in their temple/monastic gardens and remove them, as well as planting more natives.
