The Northwest Earth Institute (NWEI) strives to inspire people to take more responsibility for the Earth. NWEI is hosting the EcoChallenge now through October 15th. Their goal is to raise awareness about the importance of taking action on behalf of the planet and to show the collective power of many people making one small change in their lifestyle.
Supporters and volunteers have chosen a variety of EcoChallenges to help lower their impact on the planet and live more sustainably. Some of these include: saving electricity, water conservation, alternative transportation, reducing waste, and sustainable eating. Ten local celebrities signed up for the EcoChallenge to show their support and help motivate the masses. To learn more and see a list of local celebrity participants, click here.
