I am participating in the EcoChallenge this year because of the excellent promotion via my employer, Multnomah County, and my gratitude for the free Indian food and drink provided at the kick-off party last Thursday evening. I have tried to be environmentally conscious since taught about the values of it by my high school biology teacher. Meeting this EcoChallenge will encourage me to up my efforts to be respectful of our amazingly beautiful and interconnected planet. Thank you for organizing this and promoting environmental education. Good luck to all participants.
