Leslie's actions
Action Track: Building Resilience
Connect While Social Distancing
I will connect with at least 2 person/people a day through phone call or video chat to support mine and other’s mental and emotional health during this challenging time.
Action Track: Building Resilience
Spend Time Outside
I will replace 30 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside that follows CDC guidelines for preventing disease spread.
Fresh Water
Dishwasher Efficiency
I will scrape, rather than rinse, dishes before loading into the dishwasher and only run the dishwasher when it’s full.
Fresh Water
Use a Reusable Water Bottle
I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.
Food
Weekly Meal Planning
I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 2 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

REFLECTION QUESTIONFresh Water Dishwasher EfficiencyHow can your region/household prepare for changing water situations in order to become more resilient?
Leslie Rock 4/10/2020 5:10 AMI will not do this challenge as I live in an old house and if dishes are rinsed before going in this can clog the pipes and lead to costly repairs.-
Melanie Stewart 4/10/2020 12:56 PMThat's a great point! Clogging pipes is a risk to all pipes I think?!? Beyond water-- I was also reading that cleaning dishes before going in the dishwasher can ultimately damage dishes, especially glass. The detergent is made to scrub and if there's nothing to scrub it starts to etch into the dishes.
