James's actions
Simplicity
Meditate
I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 10 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.
Simplicity
Needs Vs. Wants
I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.
Transportation
Stay on the Ground
Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).
Nature
Do Nature Activities
I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 15 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.)
Energy
Switch to Cold Water
I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.
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.

James Garafola 10/16/2019 10:53 AMMy eco-challenge is going great. For 10 minutes a day I meditated and thought hows my family doing. when I switched to cold water to clean my clothes is saved my family a lot of hot water, and instead of traveling by plane I traveled by car for 12 hours to get to my cousins wedding. Every day I head outside ride my bike or go on a nice walk with my sister. so my eco-challenge is going good for me.-
