Los Alamos County Environmental Services, LAC Green Team, Zero Waste Los Alamos team and the LA EcoChallenge team invite are hosting the EcoChallenge, October 3-24. Using an online platform (developed by the Northwest Earth Institute), participants choose a challenge and take action each day for three weeks.
There are many challenges to choose from in the areas of energy, waste, water, transportation, simplicity, community, health, nature or food, or design your own! Taking action on your challenge, as well as building teams and sharing your progress with others, helps you accrue points.
In addition, the EcoChallenge website has personalized dashboards which will show you the impact of your actions in real time so you’ll know how much energy you are saving by not doing something as simple as washing laundry with hot water.
