Candace McKenna 10/24/2017 3:50 PMThe challenge has been helpful to get me off the dime and do some one-time things I've been meaning to do but keep putting on the backburner such as going paperless with bill paying and purchasing carbon offsets . More walking and eating without distractions will continue to be my daily challenges going forward even after the official challenge is over :) -
Nancy McConnell 10/23/2017 1:30 PMOnly 3 more days to the Eco Challenge. The Owls are a competitive bunch. We are in 3rd place among WA teams with 1975 points as of this morning. The other Episcopal churches competing have smaller teams: Ascension with 6 members has 639 points. Saint Mark's with 4 members has 183 points. St. Stephens with a 1 person team has 90 points. Averages per member: Ascension with 102 points; St. Mark's with 46 points' and St. Stephens with 90 points. Keep up the good work. -
Candace McKenna 10/18/2017 5:57 PMJust wondering if anyone can confirm that the purchase of carbon offsets does NOT qualify as a charitable gift?? If it does qualify, I could request a match from my company....-
Nancy McConnell 10/18/2017 8:40 PMGood question I will ask Lance.

Nancy McConnell 10/15/2017 9:47 PMSix members of our team, the St. John Owls, participated in the Snohomish Crop Walk today. An amazing fall day with neighborhoods full of trees in brilliant autumn colors. So we walked, communed with nature, and enjoyed the company of walkers from throughout the community of Snohomish. We walked for those who must walk for water and food every day and for our own weekly community kitchen dinners. -
Marilyn Imbach 10/15/2017 8:48 PMA great 20th Annual Snohomish CROP Hunger Walk today. A lovely fall day in Western Washington with walkers having a good time walking one step at a time to help end hunger globally and in our own community. Thank you to all who participated. -
Nancy Vandenberg 10/15/2017 6:37 AMSo far my biggest challenge is remembering to post what I did on the day of, not the next day.....because I always want to wait till the end of the day to make sure I accomplished my challenges, and then I forget.......Maybe I need to set a phone reminder. -
Marilyn Imbach 10/13/2017 7:15 PMSo far, I have removed 3 shopping bags of clutter from various closets in my house. Good Will has gained 3 bags of clutter. Not sure if that is progress or not.-
Sydney Wilkinson 10/13/2017 7:26 PMI would say that is 100% progress! Recycle, Reduce, and Reuse!! -
Nancy Vandenberg 10/20/2017 7:09 PMI got a good laugh out of this "Marilyn comment". But I think it's progress!--hopefully someone will buy all of that clutter, which will save all of the of energy and water needed to produce even more clutter.
I was thinking about your comment, and I think maybe we should ban selling new Christmas decorations for a couple of years and give Good Will et. al. time to clean out their inventory. I'm sure we could easily get this passed into law:)

Nancy McConnell 10/12/2017 5:04 PMI'm walking even if it's raining as I have vowed not to be a fair weather walker. So far neither Keeper or I have melted. Guess sunshine is over-rated! -
