    My most successful ecochallenge so far is my carpool challenge! I live close to my friends from school and work, so at least once a week I have been trying to connect with them to go together. It is definitely the most fun for me because I get to see them, and also easy because I don't need to explain to them that I'm doing it for the environment.

      I'm glad it has been successful for you! I feel like since I made carpooling one of my eco-challenges its been harder to coordinate carpooling, it's like the eco-challenge jinxed it lol.
