Emerson Boulder

I found that a lot of the plastic I throw away is food packaging. I want to eliminate some of this packaging by trying to shop at the zero waste food store in Boulder.

Was looking at flying to Idaho for a fourth of July climbing trip, but it made more sense environmentally and financially to stay local. Now I have a campsite booked at Staunton for a long weekend of local hiking and climbing!

I have been thinking about how the impact of my phone use can affect the environment. Reducing phone usage by 50% conserves energy used in production and charging, cutting greenhouse gas emissions. Less usage means fewer upgrades, decreasing electronic waste. It promotes outdoor activities, fostering appreciation for nature and reducing carbon...

By implementing eco-challenges more widely, we can inspire a global movement towards sustainability, encouraging individuals, communities, businesses, and governments to take meaningful action to protect the planet for future generations. It's not just about winning a challenge; it's about collectively creating a healthier, more sustainable...

Furthermore, eco-challenges can spark innovation and creativity in finding sustainable solutions to complex environmental problems. Participants often come up with novel ideas, technologies, and strategies that can be scaled up and replicated to address broader environmental challenges.
