Ask the EnviroChallengers

During the pandemic, many questions may arise about Climate Change, Environmental and Social Justice, and how the City of Tacoma is planning a future of sustainability. 

The EnviroChallenger team is here to field your questions and gather information so you can make informed choices and decisions about keeping our community environmentally sustainable.

By watching our videos, produced by Gator and New EnviroChallenger Kate, you can learn about a range of topics from composting, to where does it all go when you flush, to how to prepare for the rainy season and the importance of planting trees. Also, you might see a farting cow! Submit questions for the team via envirochallenger@cityoftacoma.org.
