With ecochallenge I went out more enjoyed new exxperiences and became aware of challenges in my community I'm so happy KPU organized this event Thanks Erin!

This experience has been awesome and im looking forward to doing this again :)

I finished my scarf!! It’s a little too warm to wear out now but I’ll definitely be cozy next winter 😊

Thanks everyone for making this challenge fun, especially Nikita and Theresa. You both guys had made me hooked up until the end  😂 I joined to have some change and fun and I really had. I am glad that this challenge has made me go up more outdoors. And, now I don't forget to turn off lights when not in use 😊

I just watched the documentary Seaspiracy last night. It was interesting to see how the film maker came to discover how sustainable fishing doesn't really exist in our world. I've come to learn the amount damage that is being done to our oceans and the extensive role the ocean plays in our environment. Although heartbreaking, I def recommend to watch!
