Great job everybody! This was our highest-scoring day yet!

This Year eco challenge was really great, I really enjoyed this even though I don't attend the school anymore and I look forward to joining the HMS team every year for the eco challenge. :P

In the drawdown book they include telepresence as a possible solution which I thought was pretty interesting. it helps slow down travel, meetings, ect. which is really good so we can reduce the overall carbon food print of society, at the moment this is basically zoom which we all know that it's nice but after like 20 minutes it is not a great...

Wearing a jacket during the winter to reduce heating always helps because heating and cooling use so much energy. It also helps to unplug things and turn off lights.

And lot's of these place's are being used for growing food, expanding cities ect, and that if that happens that would release waaaay tooo much...
