EcoChallenge 2017

EcoChallenge 2017

The Sustainability Institute at Penn State is piloting a new program called EcoChallenge! EcoChallenge is a great way to choose actions to reduce your impact. You pick your own challenge and set a goal that stretches your comfort zone and makes a difference for you, your community, and the planet. Challenges encompass a variety of eco-issues such as waste, food, health, transportation, energy, water, and nature, and range in difficulty. For example, one challenge could be using a reusable water bottle each day, while another challenge could be carrying your trash that you accumulate throughout the duration of the challenge. It takes place from October 11th-25th. Each day you complete a challenge, you receive points for yourself and for Penn State’s team! Penn State is hoping to have the largest team across the U.S., and we are already ranked 3rd out of 256 teams!

 

Sign up is completely free, and you can change the EcoChallenge website into an app to send you reminders to complete your daily challenges!
