HealthPartners Sustainability Team

It was great reading others posts, learning new ways to improve sustainability. As example rather than use disposable to go containers, keep reusable in your car!! Excellent example of learning through others experience. Each year I continue to learn how to use the platform, making it easier to be part of the ecochallenge. MJ 

It’s the very last day of our Ecochallenge! Thank you for being part of it with us and thanks for all you do to be sustainable at work and at home!!

I hope you all have enjoyed this EcoChallenge half as much as I have.  Thanks for joining our team! Here is one last bit of nature trivia:  Did you know that Tamaracks are a conifer that change color in the Fall and drop their needles.  Here is a picture of a couple I took yesterday.

Its wonderful to spend time outside in MN..... Fall harvest, Halloween, fall colors!! (Much better than a video game / TV)

Where we walked on Sun the leaves were mostly yellow, except this one!

I found myself wanting to check in, learn from others in their communication involving the ecochallenge..... holding myself accountable for achieving results - most importantly it was great to see involvement in sustainability! 

Good morning, all; I hope you all had a great weekend.  It was a good weekend for foliage in the Twin Cities, pretty much peak! Finish our EcoChallenge strong and thanks for being our teammate!

I have been mindful when being outdoors, looking at the beautiful fall colors. Indoors I am aware of water running, how full the laundry washer is and cut power to anything electrical that is not being actively used! 

I knew producing meat required a lot of water ... but didn't realize it was that much! I think I'll add a few more plant-based recipes to my upcoming meal plans.
