• Get an Early Start

  • Projects that are started early are more likely to be successfully implemented .
    • Only the top five Eco-Projects overall will contribute to your House's Eco-Project Quality Points.
    • Only completed projects will count towards your House's Eco-Project Quantity Points.
      
  • Projects that are started early have a better chance of overcoming barriers and red-tape.
    
  • Projects that bear on energy conservation and waste reduction will have greater tangible/documentable impact if you start early.
    • Houses are also ranked on these metrics, so all the more incentive to start soon!
      • ex. distributing CFLs to replace incandescent lights will result in lower electricity usage as soon as it is done
      • ex. installing missing storm windows will do much more to reduce this year's steam usage if done in the fall rather than the spring
      • ex. pairing trash cans with recycling bins may dramatically increase recycling yield once done
        

• Form a Coalition

• Institutionalize the Progress you make
