  My goal is to go to Guatemala this summer, brush up on my Spanish, and spend a few weeks teaching the local kids about living sustainably and taking care of their environment. So to answer the question quite bluntly, I am already planning on using my experience with the Sustainability Decathlon to help me teach more people about sustainability.

  I have talked about the Sustainability Decathlon and the Sustainability Outreach class with a lot of my friends and they all thought it was an interesting project. I have shared with them some of my experiences, how I enjoy mentoring the high school students, and the importance of teaching others about sustainability.
