— Phyllis

"As the Earth Month EcoChallenge 2024 wraps up, I wanted to reflect on a new habit that I've formed. I now prioritize walking to the gym instead of driving. I pick-up at least one piece of trash on the way. This simple new routine has led me to pick-up near 20 pieces of litter on my local trail. I also traveled almost 60 miles by foot. I hope to continue this habit over the coming year."

— Lauren

"I am definitely planning to continue to my daily actions once Earth month is over!"

— Taylor

"I made zero waste for the day yesterday, and wow it was very challenging! I'm not sure how I could do that consistently, but I think there are some helpful starting points that could at least limit waste."

— Cameron

"I've learned so much during this challenge! It's fun to get outside more and also learn with coworkers :)."
