Thank you so much for joining our Energy Challenge team and showing your support for sustainability! The challenge officially starts today and runs through April 30th. To earn points, we just need to check in on the website daily. We can also rally together to compete against other teams and the Energy Coaches.
Here is a quick breakdown of how it works:
Choose your actions: You can select simple, daily actions from three categories: For Everyone at work, For Facilities team members, and For Home.
Track your progress: Pick a few actions you can commit to and check them off each day to watch our team points add up! If you aren't sure what an action entails, just click "Learn More" for a quick description.
Add custom actions: If you have a great energy-saving habit that isn't on the list, you can actually create a Custom Action and share it with the team to earn points.
Share your achievements: Use the team feed to post about your progress or experiences. We would love to hear your thoughts and see how everyone is doing.
Current Challenge Status (Day 1):
Total Organizations Participating: 24
Total Teams Participating: 28
Total Participants: 110
PSU Team Members: 27
PSU Team Points: 329
I will send out weekly updates to keep everyone in the loop. Take a look at the other organizations participating on the site, and let me know if there is a specific team you think we should challenge directly to keep things competitive and fun this month.
I am excited to engage with students, staff, and faculty on ways we can all contribute to reducing our energy consumption not only across campus, but also in our daily-lives.
