Shayne's actions
Waste
Personal Waste Audit
I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.
Waste
Go Paperless
I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.
Food
Plant an Herb Garden
I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.
Health
Exercise Daily
Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.
Food
Meet My Local Farmers
I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those who produce my food in other regions of the world to make better choices when I shop.
Waste
Skip the Straw
Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
Waste
Use Reusable Bags
I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.
Water
Eco-friendly Gardening
I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.
Health
Learn About Local Environmental Justice Concerns
I will spend 60 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.
Health
Take Control
Both system and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.

Shayne Magdoff 10/22/2018 12:58 PMOnly two more days! This has really gone by quickly. Seeing the collective impact of all our teams is quite impressive. Onward and upward! -
Shayne Magdoff 10/21/2018 12:01 PMIt’s amazing how easy it is to forget to check in even though you are changing behaviors. Glad I received my notice email to check in. Thanks -
Shayne Magdoff 10/17/2018 9:01 AMIn the past when I have participated in the challenge, it was for two weeks. I am glad that we are doing this for three weeks. I have been told that it takes 21 days to make a habit, which I believe to be true. Based on the new changes I integrated into my daily routines, it appears that 21 days should do it. Hope you all are having great success as well. -
Shayne Magdoff 10/14/2018 10:45 AMWhat can we do to get more motivated? Our challenger has more than double our points, although it is with at least 25% more members, I know we can do better. Thanks you guys for allowing me to be on your team. This challenge continues to remind me of all the little things we can do to help our world.-
Deanna Eichler 10/15/2018 10:40 AMAlso found out on check-ins - if you missed a day, no worries. You can page back to the date and log in your awesomeness on challenge behaviors you met on that day and still get points (for yourself and the team :-))
So, do it! Thanks :-)

Shayne Magdoff 10/12/2018 12:00 PMOkay guys, let's get to work. We were a respectable 59 out of the teams, then dropped to 60 and now we are at 67. I presume that most of you are performing the behaviors you chose but forget to check in. Does that sound familiar to me. So let's step up the challenge. Thanks to you all for participating.-

Some info on the check-ins. If you log in daily to track your challenge behaviors you will get more points for doing it each day (something like 10 points extra for checking in on the actual day.) So Shayne is right, checking in will really kick up our points. I logged in on my tablet at home and had it remember my password, so I don't have to bother logging in each day.

Shayne Magdoff 10/10/2018 10:27 AMWell so far I just missed one day checking in. So much going on - my head is spinning.
I do feel good about the changes I have made so far. Hope the rest of the team is moving forward as well. -
Shayne Magdoff 10/07/2018 5:18 PMThis week-end was cram packed with too much to do. Must remember to check in so I can get the appropriate points. I will do better as I am taking the actions I chose. -
Shayne Magdoff 10/05/2018 4:56 PMWhen I was choosing my challenges, I found that many of them I already do - some daily , but also some routinely. Finding new challenges this year was difficult, but I seem to be able to add more to my list each year. -
Shayne Magdoff 10/04/2018 4:34 PMDay 2 and still steady as she goes. -
Shayne Magdoff 10/03/2018 12:29 PMOkay - day one going smoothly. Can't wait til tomorrow.
