Pei-Pei's actions
Waste
Find Local Recycling Depots
I will spend at least 15 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.
Energy
Switch to Cold Water
I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.
Nature
Support Local Pollinators
At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 30 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.
Health
Exercise Daily
Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.
Waste
Use Reusable Bags
I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.
Simplicity
Less Screen Time
I will replace 30 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.
Food
Plant an Herb Garden
I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.
Health
Healthy Sleep
Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.
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.
Energy
Turn it off
I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.
Food
Try a New Way to Prep
I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.
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?

Pei-Pei Tsao 10/24/2018 9:35 AMUSE AN ENERGY METER - This is some thing everyone should do and repeat every few years -- gives you some idea of the electricity consumption and can save you money too! Borrowed a meter from the library a few years back and discovered that the stereo system on standby was costing $30/year. It's now plugged into a power bar and turned on only when needed.
