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. Titled ‘You Minus Technology,’ Challenge #3 requires all participants to spend 24 hours without the use of any technology. Listen here as winners present reflective essays in response to their experiences.
