UC San Diego Health 4/26/2024 8:53 PMJust a few days left! Remember to check in and take any one-time actions you have remaining. It’s fun to see the collective impact made by our organization so far. All of your individual actions are adding up and making a difference. 💚🌎

Jennifer Paris 4/25/2024 9:47 AMHow can I add actions if the date has passed? Sometimes I forget or I was in training, but I've been unable to update if it's a few days to a week old. If I can't, that's ok, and I'll be more mindful about entering, but wanted to check! Thanks! :)-
Nicole Poletto 4/25/2024 11:01 AMHi Jennifer,
In your dashboard (tab on the upper right), you should be able to click through the days or click directly on the day you had in mind. Let me know if that works!

JoAnn Calingay 4/23/2024 2:38 PMPrepping for nurses week so sending information via email instead of printing fliers-
Sara Menvielle 4/23/2024 5:43 PMThat’s a great idea!

Catherine Lyons 4/23/2024 12:09 PMI found out you cannot recycle used paper plates-
Barbara Hamilton 4/23/2024 12:11 PMBut, if they are only paper (no plastic or coating) you can compost them! -
Catherine Lyons 4/23/2024 12:29 PMThank you Barbara!

REFLECTION QUESTIONAt Work Use Reusables at WorkWhile one's plastic cutlery is a seemingly very small part of someone's "plastic impact", why do you think it's important for us to address this opportunity to reduce?
UC San Diego Health 4/22/2024 8:32 PMThis year’s Earth Month theme is Planet vs. Plastics and every little bit counts. Reducing plastic cutlery is not only important in phasing out single use plastics, but microplastics in our bodies have been linked to everything from cancer to Alzheimer’s.-
Catherine Lyons 4/23/2024 12:28 PMI saw a picture in my facebook of kayakers helping to remove plastic from the Seine in preparation for the Paris Olympics - I had no idea it was so polluted and you cannot easily remove the miniscule particles -
Barbara Hamilton 4/23/2024 11:36 AMPlastic pollution is a more profound issue than many understand. Thanks for sharing!

JoAnn Calingay 4/17/2024 5:17 AMI signed up for solar through SunRun.-
Jeff Babic 4/17/2024 5:39 AMCongratulations Joann! Are you having solar PV installed at your property or will you be part of a purchasing agreement? SunRun is one of the bigger names in the field. -
JoAnn Calingay 4/23/2024 2:35 PMI honestly did not do my research. I’m having sunrun install the panels. Hopefully it gets down before summer.

Catherine Lyons 4/16/2024 5:35 PMMore shopping at Trader Joe's and less shopping at Costco (too much goes to waste when shopping for just 1 or 2 if shopping at Costco)-
Candice Miller 4/16/2024 6:51 PMI hear ya, Catherine. I can’t stand to see things go to waste either. I ran into something similar so now I shop at Costco and split the food items with my sister, my brother, or my best friend, depending on what was bought. -
Sara Menvielle 4/17/2024 2:39 AMLike the other comment says, I also try splitting food items with my family if we get something at Costco. Or, depending on what food item it is, I will individually freeze them so i can use them at a later time!
But going to Trader Joe’s is so fun. I also love Sprouts (which we don’t have in Ohio but I went to all the time when I was in San Diego). Their sandwiches they make from the deli are so good!
