The EcoChallenge is an opportunity to change your life for good. Common wisdom says it takes at least two weeks to change a habit: if you can stick with a new behavior for 14 days in a row, you’re a lot more likely to keep it up forever. EcoChallengers share their progress and earn points for taking action. The combination of collective inspiration, camaraderie and friendly competition makes change a little easier — and a lot more fun.
The Interfaith Environmental Network of Houston invites you to join their team for this year’s Eco-Challenge. For more information on the Interfaith Environmental Network of Houston, contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com.
