Kelly's actions
Nature
Do Nature Activities
I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my family, for 5 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)
Health
More Fruits and Veggies
I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 1 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.
Transportation
Choose a Carbon Offset
If buying a plane ticket, I will also buy a carbon offset.
Water
5-Minute Showers
I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.
Energy
Disable Screen Savers
I will disable screen savers and will put the computer to sleep instead, saving up to 28% more energy.
Health
Exercise Daily
I will exercise daily for 10 minute(s) per day for two weeks.

Kelly Wacker 10/25/2017 3:26 PMMy final action today was to donate to Carbonfund.org as a way of purchasing a carbon offset for a flight I'll be taking in December. I've been thinking about doing this and participating in the EcoChallenge gave me the nudge to actually do it. While carbon offsets are not a panacea, its better than doing nothing. I wish that all airlines offered a carbon offset fee that you could choose when purchasing your ticket.-
Rebecca Snook 10/25/2017 4:15 PMThat is a very good idea! With all the other fees they tack on, I'm sure this one wouldn't increase the prices too much:)
