    This was the first time I participated in the people's ecochallenge and I really enjoyed it.  Thank you to those Kern members for getting us involved in it.

    Waste Prevent Recycling Contamination
    What have you learned about what is accepted by local haulers for recycling, what you can drop off or ship to certain places, and what is not recyclable in your area? What is the most difficult part of recycling for you?

    It gives us a time to relax, smile and laugh.  A nice pause from day-to-day stress and activities.

    Invite someone to exercise/go on a walk with me.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Energy Choose LED Bulbs
    Switching out your lightbulbs is an excellent first step toward energy efficiency! In what other ways can you exercise your civic duty to protect the environment and reduce carbon emissions?

    Instead of driving to places that are nearby, bike or walk.
