Jennifer Nelson 10/25/2017 10:54 AMAbsolutely! I am so impressed with the discussion that has gone on this year. I'm wondering if some of the EcoChallenge team might want to continue with a discussion course... look for a future email about that when things settle down. :)

Elizabeth Love 10/17/2017 8:00 AMIt is so much easier to recycle here at the county. In my previous life, I have had to argue with a boss to set up a recycling program because he was with Texas and they just threw everything in the trash. We set up a huge recycling program once he understood how important it was.-

Elizabeth Love 10/16/2017 1:13 PMThis weekend we went out and used all reusable items - actual dishes and silverware rather than the paper bowls and cups and plastic forks. It's the little things that make a difference.-
