    I've found this challenge more valuable than expected! I chose activities aligning with what were already goals, so the daily reminders have been helpful. My only complaint is how it has distorted for me the importance of individual actions compared to industry-wide and governmental actions.

      There should be an industry- or government-level eco-challenge to inspire action!
