    The challenge was really good and brought a needed change to me and my roommates and our whole apartment's energy mentality. Trying to save as much money as possible, typical of of most money stricken college kids,  this challenge helped account for our total output of electricity and conservation of non-reusable household items. We were able to see how much we used and how much we should be using to be the most efficient as possible. I really enjoyed doing this and will continue to use these learned habits til the next Eco-challenge.
