Emily's actions
Water
Calculate My Water Footprint
Do at Home
I will calculate my Water Footprint to learn about my tap water use and "virtual water" use.
Health
Exercise Daily
Do at Home
Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.
Food
Reduce Animal Products
Do at Home
I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.
Waste
Prevent Recycling Contamination

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 5 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.
Waste
Use a Reusable Mug
Do at Home
I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWater Calculate My Water FootprintHow does your view on water consumption change after completing this action?
Emily Radomski 10/15/2021 11:57 AMMy estimated usage was 1,423 Gal/day, a bit below average. The vast majority is from "outside" sources: diet, electricity, shopping. I try to not eat much meat, I think this is the one area I have most control in. It should be noted though that some plant food sources use a lot of water to produce, too, such as almonds. There are so many things to think about. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth Exercise DailyHow can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?
Emily Radomski 10/15/2021 11:36 AMMy husband and I go to the gym together, which gives us more time together. It's also so helpful to have help getting there/someone to be accountable to! Much more motivating to have an exercise buddy. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use a Reusable MugMaybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reusable one, but it's just hard to make the switch. What stands in your way of making this a habit? By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?
Emily Radomski 10/12/2021 3:00 PMI didn't have a good travel mug to use at coffee shops instead of a disposable cup, so I got a nice one that I enjoy using. The added bonus is that my coffee/tea stays hot longer, which makes me want to keep using it, so there is a positive feedback loop.
