October is Campus Sustainability Month!!!!

In recognition, I’d love your helping to make the student body aware of (and hopefully participate in) the 2019 EcoChallenge.  Last year the Western community EcoChallenge team finished in the top 10% of teams WORLDWIDE!!

If you’ve never participated in the EcoChallenge before, here is how it works:  Join the Western Technical College team, and then select a few actions that align with your individual values and make a 21-day commitment to complete those actions. Actions run the gamut from community building to attending to your stress to conserving resources. From October 2 – October 23, you check in the website daily (it only takes a moment) and self-report whether you completed the action that day. For every completed action, you earn points and create impact. Your points contribute to Western’s total points, and your impact contributes to our collective impact.

Participation is FREE and all are welcome to join the team. 

Example Challenges:

1. Get sleep every day

2. Print Double-sided

3. Use reusable straws

4. Eat less meat

5. Meet local farmers

6. And so many more easy tasks!
