I enjoyed my experience with the EcoChallenges. I learned quite a bit about sustainability from browsing the website, answering the reflection questions, and performing the challenges.

This decision was due to being diagnosed twice with anemia,...

Eco Challenge: Reflect on Experience My experience throughout this eco challenge experience has taught me a lot about various ways that I can practice sustainability.

One plant on the...

Good afternoon, I have been working on caring for my plants, the basil that I harvested and left a little bald is now sprouting new leaves and getting taller. I love growing basil because is so forgiving and is easy to maintain. The seedlings that I planted a few weeks ago are now one to close to two inches tall, I will wait for them to get...

Effective family planning methods that emphasize empowerment, well-being, and education not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions (fewer people = fewer emissions), but also lessen the strain on the environment.
