Mayo Clinic

I am going to miss this daily check in with my peers.

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...

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.

This has been a great Challenge. I learned about new ways to make my environment eco friendly:

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 appreciate this opportunity to be more aware of how I can positively impact my local community!

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! :)
