Kelly Wavra 5/26/2017 10:41 AMWell, teammates, I think we did a great job. It's always good to remind ourselves each day that we need to leave our planet cleaner than we found it. Pack it in, pack it out. -
Kelly Wavra 5/20/2017 2:40 PMThis challenge is more interesting than I imagined. I've always considered myself ahead of the curve when it comes to recycling and such but have found that my dad puts me to shame. When I told him about the challenge he shook his head and reminded my that as a boy reusing and recycling was what everyone did without question or exception. Our youth might aspire to be as 'non-disposable' as my dad. (yes, I mean that two ways) -
