Jenna Dowding 10/25/2017 8:33 PMI want to thank NWEI for bringing the EcoChallenge into my life! It made me feel proud of all the things I already do to help limit my impact and expose me to other ways, some simple and some not so simple, but all worth while. Thanks for making me feel like a better person! -
