This kind of cooperative effort is certainly what we need more of, if we are going to bring humanity together and save the planet (from us).
I like how this competition is encouraging improvement and awareness in many directions, to connect us better with what really matters. But I do think we should balance appreciating nature with some real improvements in reducing our footprints. I am really curious about what Ecochallenge participants feel they can't do as well as what they can.
