Brandon's actions

Land, Water, and Air

Understand My Water Footprint

Each of us has a water footprint, directly linked to our daily activities as well as the water required in the production of things we use each day. Understanding our water use is important for a healthy planet. I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste, then share what I learned on the feed.

COMPLETED
ONE-TIME ACTION

Land, Water, and Air

Save Water When Washing Dishes

Dishwashers can save water — if used wisely. I will only run the dishwasher when it’s full and skip the pre-rinse to reduce water and energy use. If I don't have a dishwasher, I will turn off the tap as often as possible while washing dishes.

Prioritize Getting Enough Sleep

Good sleep is essential for a healthy body and mind. I will prioritize getting 30 minutes of quality sleep each night and develop a bedtime routine that supports rest and relaxation.

Enjoy the Outdoors for 30 Minutes

Studies have shown that when we spend consistent time in nature, our health improves, our creativity increases, and our connection to the planet gets stronger. Each day of the Ecochallenge, I will spend 30 minutes outside, then share my observations, reflections, and learnings on the feed.

It snowed! We got 4 inches, so I spent time outside clearing off the cars, some basic shoveling. It wasn't too cold, nice fresh air!

Consider how many hours of sleep you get now. How would you like to shift your sleep patterns? What changes did you make to improve your sleep, and how did they affect your day?

I usually sleep well, but recently some extra stress/sickness has me short. Turned the phone off earlier last night and prioritized sleep!

How did changing your dishwashing habits make you more mindful of water use? What other small changes can you make to conserve water in your household?

We replaced a very old dishwasher with a new more efficient one a few years back, and use it as much as we can. Training the kids how to properly load and wait until it is full before running! This unit also has a speed cycle which we use if the dishes are not too soiled, saves half the time.
