Stephanie North 10/12/2016 8:59 AMHi Eco-Warriors!
I wanted to set up a group challenge, but I have been informed that we cannot. The best I can do is have you create your own personal challenge using the same information. I am attaching the challenge I have created. Just an FYI...the survey will go out in the next couple of days. Tis survey season!!!
