Alright team, the last day of EcoChallenge is coming up! If there are any particularly daunting challenges to take on, goals to reach, or words you'd like to share, the time is NOW! 

Alright everyone, just a little over half way! Our team has collectively saved over 2000 lbs of CO2! That's great! Even though, the average person in the USA burns through about 19 tons a year... I learned today that even the most energy conserving Americans still burn twice as much as the world average. However, it's possible that if more...

How's everyone Ecochallenge going so far? =))

One more day to EcoChallenge! Yay! I'm super excited. This year I'm joining North Seattle College Eco Team (NSC) again. We are a team of four student and student leaders. We have been promoting Ecochallenge for the whole campus during the Welcome Back BBQ Day, as well as tabling every day since last Wednesday for students to sign up for 2017...
