Lisa's actions
Waste
Use a Reusable Mug
I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.
Waste
Reduce Single-Use Disposables
Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.
Energy
Turn it off
I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.
Energy
Power Down the Computer
I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.
Health
Exercise Daily
Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 10 minute(s) each day.
Participant Feed
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?

Lisa Watson 10/24/2018 10:46 AMWell, it's been a ride! I didn't exercise every day, which hurt my numbers, but I did exercise far more than 70 minutes per week, so on average I exceeded my modest 10 min per day goal on average.
I wish there had been a number of times per week other than 7 to make goals of. I felt like I was cheating when I logged using a reusable mug on a day I was at home or brought my own coffee from home, but I did start bringing my own mug to the coffee shop when I did buy coffee, so I did save a few cups from hitting the landfill. Same general deal for single use containers and such. Basically, my numbers for the amount of waste I diverted are severely inflated because of the way the challenge was set up.
I am really glad I didn't choose the paper towel challenge because I would have failed very badly, but it did make me more aware every time I did use them. A future goal, perhaps?
Peace, out. -
Lisa Watson 10/11/2018 9:46 AMSo I *thought* I powered down my computer last night, but this morning I got a critically low battery message and haven't been able to power it on in 45 minutes. Karma is a bitch. On the plus side, good thing I didn't teach this morning. -
Lisa Watson 10/09/2018 6:37 PMI don't actually probably only buy coffee or food other than groceries one or twice a week, so the reusable and disposable questions aren't really that tough.
