Green Tip: Penn State EcoChallenge 2017

Join the Libraries Green Committee and the Sustainability Institute for the Penn State EcoChallenge 2017, a two-week competition October 11–25 that involves changing one — or more — habits that benefit our planet. Together, we’ll show that our individual changes can add up to real impact. Last year, over 8,000 people participated in the challenge, taking almost 62,000 actions and made lasting impacts like avoiding use of over 440,000 gallons of water and traveling over 80,000 miles by foot, bike, bus or carpool.

During the competition, you’ll connect with other EcoChallengers and earn points for accomplishing your challenge. The combination of collective inspiration, camaraderie and friendly competition makes change a little easier, and a lot more fun. The Challenge is open to all faculty, staff and students, so ask others to join as well. Last year, the largest competing team had 580 members, an easy number to beat with Penn State passion!
