Lisa's actions
Health
Exercise Daily
Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 10 minute(s) each day.
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.
Energy
Turn it off
I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.
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.
Waste
Use a Reusable Mug
I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

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.
