Maria Davila 5/21/2025 3:16 PMHow easy was it to remember to work on your action items?
It was kind of difficult to keep up reminding myself to check in because I was more focused on other activities, and sometime, I forgot.
Do you feel like your small actions can make a difference on a larger scale?
I think they can, and according to the web page, yes. Although with the help of our classmates, we did make a big difference in the world.
Are there any actions that you will continue, even though we are finished with the Ecochallenge?Yes, there will be actions I will continue to do even though we are finished with the Ecochallenge, such as having a 5-minute shower, using the fresh air and less fans, and use less my phone. -
