Ask the EnviroChallengers
Watch Kate, Gator, John, and other subject matter experts and friends as they answer questions about the environment and sustainability within the City of Tacoma.
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 Kate and Gator, 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.

60+ At-Home EnviroChallenger Lessons!
In response to school closures due to COVID-19, and the on-going safety guidelines, the EnviroChallengers produced an "EnviroChallenge of the Day".
The challenges align with state standards, can be tailored for different ages, and, in typical EnviroChallenger fashion, entail a lot of fun!
