=**Sustainability Experiment**=

//Mora Highschool, Mrs. Olen's 11 - 12th Grade Science Class//
(This presentation will be appropriate for audiences grades k-12.)

It is said that an action must be repeated 20 times to become a habit. Twenty junior and seniors ran an experiment on their lives for a month! Each of them changed 5 things about their lifestyle to live more sustainably. Two changes were passive, meaning that the change required little input after the initial setup. Three changes were active, meaning that the change required effort and attention every day. Join us to hear what they learned, what was hard, and what was easy. Be inspired to change your own life!
