Tammy Donaldson

I will increase my step count by 4000 each day and will take breaks from sitting by briefly getting up and moving once per hour during the day.

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.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will reflect on how I am feeling and express myself through writing, art, music, physical activity, or another creative way to enhance well-being

Hand washing dishes can use more energy and hot water than running a full dishwasher. To save water, I will scrape instead of rinsing dishes before loading them into the dishwasher, and only run it when it is full.

I will schedule coffee breaks, lunches, and/or check-in meetings with 2 coworkers to promote connectivity in my workplace.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will spend 20 minute(s) per day practicing Mindfulness and/or Meditation.

I will turn my computer monitor(s) off at my work station when not in use to save energy (I will follow my organization's IT instructions for keeping on, turning off, or restarting computers).
