What have previous Eco Challenge participants thought?
"I thought I already knew a lot about environmental sustainability, but through the Eco Challenges, I learnt heaps of interesting facts and useful tips to further reduce my impact on the planet. The Eco Challenge worksheets provided links to some fantastic websites and local community groups. Thanks for organising the Eco Challenge - it was fun, eye-opening and we love using the household thermometer and stow-away shopping bag." Enmoore, Ashfield
"What I enjoyed most about the Eco Challenge program was how it focused on different aspects of our lifestyle allowing us to identify the areas where we could make the greatest improvement. For my family, the area where we've been able to make the most positive changes is food. We've dramatically reduced waste by meal planning, composting food scraps and growing herbs and salad greens. The program also motivated me to become a 'City Cousin' for Food Connect, a social enterprise connecting local farmers with city folk." Briana, Ashfield
"The Ashfield Eco Challenge is a great, fun community initiative. I enjoyed the fact that it was not preaching and covered a lot more than the basic water or electrical type things at home." Nicole, Haberfield
