    Somethings were hard to achieve, but be accountable for what I could control made me more aware of the waste I was doing. The shower challenge was definitely an eye opener. I use 20 minutes just turning the shower on and mutli-tasking before getting in. Finding balance in everyday life events was a struggle, but it made me aware of areas I need to work on.

    Thanks, everyone, for such a fantastic One Healthcare Ecochallenge! I loved the engagement and passion from participants. We'll see you next year for One Healthcare Ecochallenge 2026!

    Since adjusting my bedtime routine to match my kids school schedule I have felt more rested and have more energy. We sometimes forget how important sleep is. I will definitely keep up with this.

      We have been doing this for awhile as well, and I love it! Going to bed by 9:00? Yes please! I wish it were even earlier (but there aren't enough hours in the day).

    Name some of the human activities impacting the health of water systems, both locally (your watershed) and globally (freshwater and oceans). What can you do to improve the health of water systems?

    So if I have to shower twice in a day, due to doing yard work or working out after work, do I add them for a total shower time for the day, or are they independent events? Obviously being able to shower once a day would be preferred, if only work schedules were more flexible

    I've found that it is difficult to create a sustainable culture at home with a middle school teenager. I'm in for the long game though and hope she comes around.

      I feel this. We have two 12 year olds, but we make it a mandatory thing in the house. They grumble but have come around to it. Good luck!

    Do you live in an area that is water secure or with water scarcity? What other actions do you take to use water more efficiently?

    I try to use my dishwasher vs. hand washing since it's more water efficient. I have a 2-flush toilet upstairs (main bathroom) to save water while flushing.

    Biggest challenge was remembering to checkin on the dashboard on a daily/weekly basis. I appreciated the reminders. I think I set too many goals for myself, but in the end, I made forward progress! :)

      I actually got a reminder from the challenge to maybe slow my roll and select fewer actions. 😂 I figured I didn't have to complete them ALL each day, I was just giving myself a buffet of actions to choose from. No regrets!
