    Thank you Exelon at Fairless Hills!  Today me and some of my science students learned how landfill waste creates methane that can be used to create electricity.

    I know now know how to recycle those annoying plastic bottle caps, apple sauce packets, and juice pouches.  Thank you https://www.terracycle.com/en-US/ and thank you EcoChallenge.  Without this challenge I never would have learned about a recycling company in my own state!

    Am I destined to continue with 5 minute showers?  What do you have to offer this year Ecochallenge?
