REFLECTION QUESTIONOne Healthcare Environmental Footprint of HealthcareWhat surprised you most about the healthcare industry's impact on climate and health? What is one action you can take to make a positive impact?
Atlas Tsai 4/24/2024 8:49 AMI don't know if I'm surprised by the impact of our industry. I just have noted that I use so many things (gloves, wipes, etc) that make so much waste, and that's only me! I'm trying to be mindful when I'm cleaning and rooming! -
Atlas Tsai 4/24/2024 8:10 AMOne day a time! Practice makes habit! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONAt Home Repair an ItemWhat was the last item you repaired? How did you do it and what was the outcome? What are your favorite resources for learning how to repair items yourself?
Atlas Tsai 4/22/2024 8:24 AMI almost got a new snowboarding jacket because mine had a small rip. I haven't found a new jacket, but my friend Laura showed me the no-so patches! And they have adorable ones and ones you can trim to the size you need! -

Atlas Tsai 4/16/2024 8:25 AMI've been so bad about getting a solid 7-8 hours, but I'm slowly inching my way there. I'm making sure I cut down on tech time an hour before I go to bed. I used to only get 5-6, now I'm getting around 7! -
