Dorothea Ton 10/16/2017 10:17 PMNice! I admire whoever can go longer than a month, left alone a year=)). You are awesome!!!! I did try going vegetarian for a month, but my diet is heavily fish sauced, and I cant live w/o it. So you can tell that it didnt go well for me.

Dorothea Ton 10/13/2017 1:03 PMOne more day to EcoChallenge! Yay! I'm super excited. This year I'm joining North Seattle College Eco Team (NSC) again. We are a team of four student and student leaders. We have been promoting Ecochallenge for the whole campus during the Welcome Back BBQ Day, as well as tabling every day since last Wednesday for students to sign up for 2017 challenge with NSC Eco team. The responds are quite well received and we have a number of students who signed up. Since it is just one more day before the challenge, the Sustainability coordinator also sent out an email to invite all the staffs and faculty to be on board with our team. We can't wait until the Ecochallenge officially opened to put on our best behaviours for the next coming two weeks, (not that we are not already doing some of the challenges on our own, but it is always better to be doing it in a group. The more the merrier!)
Cheers!-
