The Fairchild Challenge fosters interest in the environment by encouraging teenagers to investigate, devise imaginative and effective responses, and to take action at many levels on environmental issues through a menu of Challenges.

This week we’re joined by winners Alicia Ferrilli and Chrissy Figan who successfully completed Challenge #5: Intergenerational Interviews, where students interview an elder about his or her experiences and relationship with nature, and then compare and contrast the elder’s experience with the student’s own.
