Freezer Challenge Blog Posts
Blog posts will be emailed to all Freezer Challenge participants and site coordinators either weekly or biweekly for the duration of the competition. Past blog posts from this year will be collected here for review again later. In addition, in My Green Lab's main blog site The Beaker, we will publish monthly digests of the content shared here, and will link to those articles here too. If you're not receiving the Freezer Challenge blog posts but should be, feel free to contact us at [email protected]
