    Is anyone else on this team doing anything on the eco-challenge? I feel like I'm alone is wanting to continue doing actions on the eco-challenge.

Please someone joint me in learning more and encouraging each other...

    I am thrilled and exceedingly grateful that we are continuing our Drawdown EcoChallenge! !!I  missed it when it was mp longer available. There's so much more I want to learn and incorporate into my life. It is very important and I hope to share it with my friends and family and people I've yet to encounter.

    I try to spend some time each day on the drawdown eco-challenge and am enjoying learning about what I can do to help mitigate climate problems. With some help from teammates, I'm now comfortable with the program and "tuning in" just about every day. It is helping me establish new habits that are better for the environment, and helping...

    I already support GreenPeace to stop dirty palm oil in Australia; support "sustainable palm oil" and look for "eco-friendly" paper makde of cotton, bamboo, straw, and other plant products instead of trees.
