I will write down three things every day for two weeks that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will visit a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?

Sara Walley 10/25/2017 6:43 PMWow, last day of the EcoChallenge! I am so proud of everyone who contributed to this amazing venture. We gave back to the environment in a major way. Everyone share what you've learned and what you will make a permanent change! -

Sara Walley 10/23/2017 6:32 AMIn these final days of the EcoChallenge, don't forget that winning is no the entire goal. The point of this is to learn more about how your everyday actions effect the world around us. This challenge helps us reevaluate how we treat our home and how, in the future, we can make more permanent life changes. -
