Julie's actions
Community
Support Native Communities
I will use the resource links provided and spend 60 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.
Water
Say No to Plastic Straws
An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.
Community
Help Others
I will offer to help 1 person(s) who are in need each day.
Health
Go get a check up
I will make an appointment for my annual physical.
Health
Happiness
I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.
Health
Know My health
I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).
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 30 minute(s) each day.

Julie Scott 10/15/2018 6:36 PMOnce I decided to forgo the straw this seemed to make me forgo the plastic cup as well and now I am remembering to bring my reusable cup more often.-
James McPhail 10/15/2018 7:00 PMJulie, doesn't it seem odd/cool how 1 small step cascades into others? Small steps take us on long journeys, right? And we can be grateful for the scenery on the way.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaterWhat single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?
Julie Scott 10/05/2018 11:57 AMI found a cup to take to my favorite coffee shop the last couple of days. I think it is silly that I felt like one of those "environmental" people when I first brought it in, but all of the baristas were awesome. Sometimes I have to get out of my own head and quit thinking about what others will think of something as silly as bringing my own cup to the coffee shop. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealthHow can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?
Julie Scott 10/04/2018 12:34 PMI love to go hiking with my friend on the weekend, we get out in the foothills and talk and let her dog run all over! Love it! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealthHow does/can practicing gratitude keep you centered and motivated to work for a better world?
Julie Scott 10/03/2018 11:01 AMPracticing gratitude keeps me focused on what I can do, and what is good around me which keeps me motivated- a great feed back loop! -
