Karina Zapien 10/28/2016 10:14 AMToday is the last day of the ecochallenge and I feel like I learned a lot from myself and that I too have the capability to help our environment be a better place to live. Checking in everyday made me feel accomplished and it was a fun experience setting reasonable goals for myself. Today is not the last day of the ecochallenege I know I will continue to to conserve water when I brush my teeth, turn the lights off when I'm not using them, save paper when I'm printing out my readings, and many more.
People of my age feel like we can't do anything to help the environment but we can! The feedback I have is to let others know (especially in my age group) about how a little action can go such a long way. Advertising is important especially to inform more people about global climate change. Our environment is very important and we must all contribute to such a huge problem.
This website was definely great and I hope more people disregarding their age use it and more people contribute.-

Karina Zapien 10/18/2016 11:36 PMToday I watched a very interesting film by the name of Cowspiracy. It's truly phenomal and an eye opener to the world’s leading cause to environmental climate change that no one seems to fully reveal at its proper naked truth.-
Joan Qazi 10/19/2016 12:55 PMKarina, I just read your summary of the film. You did a great job. It is amazing the role of animal agriculture and the way everyone tries to avoid naming it.

Karina Zapien 10/16/2016 11:34 AMI really like the website and the challenges we can put ourselves up to in order save our environment! I take more in account my daily actions and how they can negatively or positively affect the environment. Saving energy by turning off unnecessary lights and saving water each day are two little actions that can make such a big difference! Proud to have took the ecochallenge! 💕-

Karina Zapien 10/15/2016 2:48 PMI took a longer walk than what I intended! It was great, especially in this rainy weather. It helped me clear my mind and notice how beautiful Wenatchee Valley really is even when it's rainy outside! -
Karina Zapien 10/14/2016 5:45 PMDay one was a good start. Due to the fact I have braces I am obligated to brush my teeth more than others. I didn't leave the water running while brushing my teeth! I'm sure I saved a lot of water considering the fact I brush my teeth 4-6 times a day. I was also sure to not leave any unnecessary lights on at home. At school I also used doubled sided printing when I printed my study notes for my test. I saved six pages.-
Joan Qazi 10/14/2016 9:55 PMThanks for joining the team Karina! You chose some valuable actions. Keep up the great work!
