Heidi Edwards 9/15/2016 5:47 PMI look forward to challenging myself and others to make small changes that make a BIG difference on campus, at home, and in our community. Last year, I took the simple steps of powering down my computer more often, turning off lights in areas or rooms not occupied, and got myself a reusable container from the OZZI machine for my lunches. I look forward to this year's challenge!
