    The EcoChallenge platform enables our team to easily share our “aha!” moments and stories from throughout the Challenge. I encourage all of our teammates to post frequently
    – feed updates inspire others to take action and make a difference!

    Common wisdom says it takes at least two weeks to change a habit: 
    if you canstick with a new behavior for 14 days in a row, you’re a lot more likely to keepit up forever. EcoChallengers share their progress and earn points for taking action. The combination of collective inspiration, camaraderie and friendly competition makes change a little easier — and a lot more fun.
