Lisa's actions
At Home
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.
At Home
Brush My Teeth Without Water Running
I will save up to 4 gallons (15 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.
At Home
Needs Vs. Wants
I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.
Health & Well-being
Exercise Daily
Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.
At Work
Plastic bags
When I receive office supplies with plastic bags and packaging, I will take the plastic bags home to recycle instead of putting them in the trash. I started doing this in early March and will continue to do it.
At Work
Last to Leave? Lights Out, Please!
Lighting makes up approximately 10% of hospitals' energy use on average. I will save energy by turning off unnecessary lights when not in use and when I am the last one to leave a space.
Health & Well-being
Go Get a Check Up
I will make 1 appointments to support my health and well-being (primary care provider, dental, vision, etc.)
Health & Well-being
Lunch from home
I will bring lunch from home everyday instead of buying it at work.

Joyce Fitzgerald 4/25/2025 7:54 AMPart of the feedback that I left on the survey is that there isn't a way to get notifications or quick check in features. -

The answer is 'Yes' but it will be next April. :) Don't feel bad at all. I've done this for several years and get better each time.

REFLECTION QUESTIONAt HomeHow is creativity a necessary ingredient for practicing simplicity?
Lisa Brunelle 4/25/2025 5:41 AMThink about it. Do you really need it? Add it to your cart and wait a few weeks. do you still need it after those weeks? That's how I decide if I really need it. -
