1100 La Crosse Fall 2024

Still going strong... It's getting to the point now where I don't even need to think about the tasks I'm doing, and it just comes naturally. Quite honestly organic food taste really good and is good for you so that's easy, and saving water is so simple. For example, when you brush your teeth you simply just don't need water running when you're...

My Eco challenge is going fantastic as I've saved so much water now, I'm actually making a difference. I've learned now that it's so easy to help our world and it's as simple as not being lazy. The thought is everything and I've learned that it's easier than you think once you build a passion towards what you're doing. I hope to soon get to the...

I chose four actions, one is related to energy, one is related to waste, and the other two are related to water. For me, challenges, ‘turn-it-off’, ‘use a reusable water bottle’ and ‘conserve toilet water’ were not challenging at all because these were already my habits. I use the library most of the time, so I do not often use my light in my...

1. How it was honestly challenging and new for you at this time - this activity was challenging for me since it is hard to track how long my computer is on/off and remembering to power it down if I don't use it for more than 2 hours at a time 2. What conversations you had with others about it - I didn't really have any conversations with others...

I think my ecochallenge is going very well because I used to be vegetarian for about 8 years so I'm used to eating meatless options and how to navigate those challenges. However, it is harder to not eat meat now that I do eat it again because the food options are normally so much better when they have meat. It is a challenge for me and I have...

My challenge is going surprisingly well. The biggest challenge I'd selected was switching to cold water when washing my clothes. I've noticed that washing on cold makes no difference to the quality of washing my clothes go through.

Some human activities that hurt water systems include farming, dumping waste, and building over natural areas. These things pollute rivers, lakes, and oceans. To help, we can try to use less water, recycle, and pick up trash when you see it. 4o

My ecochallenge is actually a lot harder than I thought. I didn't realize how often I use paper cups for things, both on and off campus. Last weekend I tried going to a coffee shop that I know serves their drinks in ceramic mugs (if you say 'for here' when they ask), but they were closed on Sundays, so I ended up going to a different coffee...

In La Crosse, Wisconsin, it mainly gets its water from groundwater and the Mississippi River. The city uses deep wells to pull water from underground.

My ecochallenge is going well. The other day I used a reusable straw instead of a plastic one. It was nice to know I'm helping improve the environment and reduce waste.
