Denny Phillips 10/25/2017 2:33 PMI learned that I want to keep going for the rest of the year with my own family and see if I or my wife is the most eco-friendly. Is there a way to do that on a smaller scale?-
Sarah Steele 10/25/2017 2:40 PMI found this! https://www.oroeco.com/ I would like to do the same, and not sure the best way to track it (I wish the EcoChallenge had an extension feature). I haven't tried the app, but it might be a good start?
