Cindy's actions
Health
Happiness
I will write down three things every day for two weeks that I am grateful for or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.
Energy
Power Down the Computer
I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 per day that I do this.
Simplicity
Eat Mindfully
I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.
Create Your Own Action
Local Civic Engagement
I will research the candidates for the other (non-president) elections coming up in November. My goal: to be able to have an opinion and intelligent conversation about candidates for 5 local offices.

Cindy Gawel 10/15/2016 10:59 AMPowered down electronics last night and it was interesting to see how long I waited until I turned them on this morning. Nice to have a quiet Saturday morning. (Of course, I couldn't post until I turned devices back on!) -
