Tara Wilkinson 10/25/2017 1:16 PMI echo what Lauriel said about EcoChallenge falling at a very busy time of year for The Intertwine Alliance -- but then again, it seems like every time of year has become a very busy time of year! Alas. Participating in this year's challenge was very valuable in helping me understand how my personal habits are formed and potentially changed. I'd vote for a four-week EcoChallenge; feels like I only just got started! Thank you to David Macek and the entire amazing Northwest Earth Institute team. -

Tara Wilkinson 10/16/2017 9:34 AMI had such a hard time being a good Ecochallenger over the weekend! I confess. But today I rededicate myself. :) -
Tara Wilkinson 10/12/2017 12:43 PMI found it way harder yesterday than I thought I would to replace indoor time with nature time. Even just 15 minutes! -
Tara Wilkinson 10/11/2017 11:09 AMExcited to get started today!
For some reason, I have never powered down my computer at work or at home when not using it. I had no idea it would save so much CO2. Excited to get in a habit during the EcoChallenge that should be easy enough to maintain.-
