Joe's actions
Energy
Adjust the Thermostat
I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.
Health
Know My health
I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).
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.
Health
Go get a check up
I will make an appointment for my annual physical.
Nature
Spend Time Outside
I will replace 60 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.
Energy
Replace Manual Thermostats
I will replace manual thermostats with programmable ones.
Nature
Do Nature Activities
I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 30 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)
Waste
Use a Reusable Water Bottle
I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
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?

Joe Walter 10/19/2018 11:03 AMCan't believe we needed heat on already in PA. Had to turn it on a few days ago. Buuurrrrrr! -
Joe Walter 10/18/2018 1:54 PMI already do some items in the Actions, like use a reusable water bottle, try to take my coffee mug everywhere, changed lights to LED mostly in house (a few more to do). I am not marking these as items I will do or complete, feels like cheating. But marked I do already. Knowing that feels good that I do it as habit! Have to work on "straws"! Never knew how bad they are!! -
