WE ARE IN THE FINAL RUN FOR POINTS with 11 days to complete and submit missions and so many missions that can still be completed (and new ones coming)! Remember you can easily search missions by location (“Ardsley”) or date (“4/25”). So plan to make your rounds of the Rivertowns and visit our sustainability stops for points now.
EVERYTHING IS STILL IN FLUX!
The leaderboard is changing daily. Last week we saw the Sleepy Hollow trustees “Greater Good” launch and leap to 2nd place. However 2nd place has now been usurped by Holly and the Hunters, from Dobbs.
At the municipal level, Dobbs has pulled ahead and Irvington is catching up!
Municipal totals from last week vs. this week:
Please note that we will review submissions and may need to reject missions that were not completed as described, so there may be a reduction in your points (but you can always check your work and resubmit).
This is the final stretch. Every mission counts, every point matters, and every team can help move its village up the leaderboard. Get out there, have fun, earn points for the earth, and let us finish strong!
Dear Earth Stewards,
You are KNOCKING IT OUT OF THE PARK. We are SO impressed.
A shout out to the Eco Warriors who have eclipsed other teams with 38,400 points. You guys are everywhere! I Like Caterpillars is in 2nd place with 23,000 points and Sleepy Hollow, inK is not far behind with 21,200.
The Eco Warriors is tipping the balance for Hastings too, who are in the lead, followed by Sleepy, Dobbs and Irvington.
Remember to check the Resilient Rivertowns Events Calendar and Sustainability Map both for game play and as on-going resources. Here are the ways you can earn points this weekend:
Dear Scavenger Hunters,
