California State University Monterey Bay’s (CSUMB) very own student Shannon Wall is taking on the Project Green Challenge which encourages college and high school students worldwide to go green by finishing day by day tasks. A challenge about building a powerful, diverse, and far-reaching movement during the thirty one days of October.

Students will be emailed a different task for every day of October. Challengers get the option of completing a task that is either green, greener, or greenest, the greener the challenge the more points contestants will get. Students will provide proof with pictures and videos uploaded to Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and more. Whoever receives the most points is the winner. The grand prize consists of multiple goodies like: a $5000 Natracare award, $2000 nature path start up kit, a fold up bike, $1000 ebay green gift card and so much more.
Wall is a Junior majoring in Environmental Studies with a concentration in Sustainable Communication. Her hometown is Sacramento and she has always lived a green lifestyle. “My parents are hippies,” Wall laughs, “ my dad works for a solar panel company and my Mom just is one.” Wall says she wants to see more change with CSUMB students going green. “I want to see people actually taking their reusable bags shopping, more carpooling, and even bicycling to class.” When Wall saw the challenge she thought it sounded fun, exciting, and had a great purpose.
