Nick Oreskovic 10/24/2017 7:13 PMOnly a 5 minute shower was tough after that field trip to the water treatment plant..but I held strong and got out in time! Seeing what the water goes through everytime it goes down the drain made me appreciate what they do there, and also made me a lot more concientious about my own use of water! -
Nick Oreskovic 10/22/2017 12:34 PMSince I had trouble getting onto the site until the challenge started I decided to pick up a few extra challenges to help our team and the environment contemporarily. In doing so I realized that some of the challenges I selected I had already been doing unknowingly such as turning off the water while brushing (no reason not to), not eating seafood (don't like it), and even the 5 minute showers. It was a good realization that such small things had an impact so much so that it encouraged me to take up more challenges and make that impact bigger.
