DID YOU TAKE THE POLL ABOUT THE MARCH CHALLENGES?
Please take a minute (that's really how long it takes!) this week to let us know how you did, before spring break begins. We've passed the halfway mark of the Peninsula Cool Campaign and have roused the interest of a number of other communities who want to replicate our efforts. This is great news! Because our goal is to have the Peninsula Cool Campaign serve as model for others community efforts. So we really
need your feedback!

CHECK OUT THE APRIL CHALLENGES, THERE'S SO MANY COOL
THINGS TO TRY. This month it's all about Your Consumer Footprint: what and how you consume/buy and what you do with things when they're used up or not useful to you anymore. Remembering your suggestions that change is more successful when you start small, we've begun building layers of smaller changes within each challenge for you to explore. So, don't just read the names of the Top Four Challenges for April,
below, visit the web site and explore which things suit YOUR family the best:
1. Buy Products Produced Locally
2. Buy Organic Food
3. Reduce Meat Consumption
4. Reduce Garbage
