    I'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..............

    This 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.

    i 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

      And 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 :)

    We 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.

    My 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
