    So far, the Eco Challenge has been going well for me. When I first started here at LaCrosse, I was using a new plastic water bottle everyday simply because I had brought a large 24 pack. I had a reusable water bottle sitting on my desk collecting dust. Since starting the challenge, I use the water bottle everyday and I've actually found that I am drinking more water. Also, the 5 minute shower challenge has allowed me to get in and out of the shower quicker and not waste time letting the water run uselessly.
