The County's People-Planet-Prosperity Challenge has been changing Santa Fe County employees behaviors both at work and at home. The Challenge, designed by Sustainability's Ashley Zappe, has four focus weeks: waste, water, energy and transportation. Test yourself on the some of the challenges!

• Waste: Pack a completely waste-free lunch.
• Water: Wash your clothes in cold water.
• Energy: Turn off the lights AND the power to devices not in use (like your speakers, computer, and charger!)
• Transportation: For one trip, avoid a one car / one person transport- who knows what kind of friends you'll make when you walk, bike, bus, or carpool?
