Chris Kane 10/22/2018 6:26 AMi was scanning through some of the 862 (+/-) teams that are participating this year and realized how hard everyone was working and how we've all made time in our otherwise busy lives to make this challenge a priority...............nice job everyone -
Chris Kane 10/22/2018 6:22 AMwe're close to the conclusion of this year's challenge and i'm really learning a lot - i know that i'll be keeping a lot of these habits throughout the years to come - thanks to NWEI for all you do -
Chris Kane 10/19/2018 2:36 PMI'm so darn proud of our team! You folks are doing an amazing job - I just wanted you all to know that; there's so much negativity -everywhere i look - particularly in politics - it's such a great feeling to see you all working so hard toward positive changes.............. -
Chris Kane 10/17/2018 5:52 AMMy challenges are going exceptionally well. I'm learning more every single day. -
Chris Kane 10/16/2018 3:48 AMThis year's challenge has been very thought provoking for me, not only working on my own, but looking at what others are doing. This is a very powerful group of folks. -
Chris Kane 10/14/2018 9:42 PMi marked my "create your own challenge" completed not because it's accomplished, but because i've done everything i know to achieve my goal; i've found a company who will collect waste from restaurants and homeowners and it's used exclusively for creating fuel - that's the best i could do, i consider that accomplished-
Linda Seals 10/17/2018 7:44 AMAnd your research on this will grow because I am sharing with a wider audience. Hopefully, this will result in additional pick-up locations throughout the county. Fingers crossed :)

Chris Kane 10/14/2018 4:55 PMWe have such a terrific team! Every one of our members brings something different to the table and we always are learning from each other, not to mention that we have a lot of fun doing it. We're over half way there my friends and my greatest wish is that each of us makes these challenges part of our daily lives. -
Chris Kane 10/14/2018 4:19 AMMy personal challenge of finding a recycler for the public for used cooking oil is much more difficult than i ever imagined; luckily for me, Recycle Brevard is also working on this; the challenge definitely won't be completed within the time frame of this program, but it will be done, i'm certain of that, and i'll continue working on this -
Chris Kane 10/13/2018 3:37 AMI'm having a great time watching everyone's progress - not only my fantastic team - but other folks also. I'm always learning something.
