    Opened the windows this morning to let in that cool, crisp air instead of turning on the AC.  Every little thing helps!

    "There is no such thing as 'away.' When we throw anything away, it must go somewhere."  ~Annie Leonard 
    I love seeing how much of an impact our team at Penn State University and the Ecochallenge itself has had over the past few weeks.  We must vow to continue to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
