    I do not know why some days are shown green and others do not - I completed the same challenges for the past several days as I ran out of other challenges that were within my range of  "do-ability".   There were many options for donations, but for "green" projects I already donate to that were not selected for the eco challenge - especially in the field of women's wellbeing.  Overall I felt it was a very engaging project and I DEFINITELY learned a great deal about so many different environmental and social issues.  Thank you SO MUCH to the organizers and the team captains!!!
