One Week Challenge
Encouraged members of Bleached to participate in a one week challenge in which the participants were given a list of tasks that they should limit in order to reduce their carbon footprint. Our goal is to teach the participants that changing simple tasks that apply to your everyday life is a step in the right direction in preserving our coral reefs. As the week progressed and the participants were more educated about coral bleaching, the results improved.
