    I'm surpised at how much I learned and how much more information is available since I looked a few years ago. It is really helpful to have my little impact grouped with others! The website is really fun, too!

    I cannot believe the challenge is over! But I can see a new one - keeping up the work that we started during the last 3 weeks! Great job, EcoINL team and all the participants across the world! It is amazing to see the impact that we can have by changing our habits.

    Environmental irresponsibility impacts everyone in the community. Those who choose to be irresponsible shortchange themselves and others through their shortsightedness. When we choose to care for the environment we demonstrate good stewardship that not only impacts our surroundings but also our sense of community.
