Ella Arce 4/30/2024 7:42 PMI've had a blast being part of this year's EcoChallenge! I've learned a lot and had the opportunity to meet so many great people. I will work to keep up the newfound habits I've developed from this experience and I hope you all will too! Here's to an even better Ecochallenge next year!-
Hannah Gaibor 4/30/2024 7:49 PMIf we all try to make a difference, even if it is only a small impact in the grand scheme of our loves, it adds up quick. I would love to see Ecochallenge be a way for people to connect outside as well, esepcially via LinkedIn for all of the professionals in fields related to sustainably.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Biodiversity + Wildlife Invest in NatureWhat did you learn about how investing can support the environment and create a more sustainable world?
William Vaughan 4/30/2024 8:04 AMUnderstanding that some companies actually make the environment and a sustainable world a key part of their strategic priorities shows that a balance can be stuck between profits and the environment.-
Bonnie Johnson 4/30/2024 8:31 PMGreat points William! California has been a leader in several sustainability areas by setting the nation's first economy-wide greenhouse gas limit, new homes require solar panels, and they are committed to 100% renewable energy by 2045. They also were first to take the initiative to cut greenhouse gas emissions, and by 2035, they will no longer sell gas vehicles, and now 8 more states have followed suit!

Biodiversity + Wildlife Volunteer in my CommunityHow does volunteering enhance your community and/or change your relationship with it?
William Vaughan 4/30/2024 8:02 AMSpending time in the community just takes you away from your own day to day which can seem so important. It helps to maintain perspective. -

Kim Johnston 4/26/2024 12:53 PMEmerson and NI employees got together for a clean up event this morning. Met a lot of hard working people. Lost track of how many shopping carts were discovered. Felt good to leave the park nicer than the way we found it. Good work everyone!-
Bonnie Johnson 4/28/2024 4:31 PMThanks to all the volunteers who participated in the Walnut Creek Park cleanup. As Kim mentioned, what surprised us was the 15 shopping carts we pulled out of the creek!
