Dan's Actions
Cultivating Communities
Use Muscle Power & Alternative Ways to Travel
Each day when I don't need to travel by car, I will use muscle-powered transportation and other alternative forms (e.g., walking, biking, car share, public transit, etc.).
Cultivating Communities
Donate Blood
I will donate blood in my community to make sure there are adequate supplies for routine medical services and emergencies.
Regenerating Nature
Explore My Area
Each day, I will spend 20 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood, which might include a park, water body, trail, etc.
Regenerating Nature
Take Shorter Showers
I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute or less showers. Tip: Use a timer to practice or count to 60 a few times.
Balancing Consumption
Develop a Work-Life Balance
During the work day, I will schedule time for breaks to practice work-life balance.
Nourishing Food
Eat Plant-Based Meals
I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

Reflection QuestionCultivating Communities Donate BloodWhy do you donate blood?
Dan Hacker 10/25/2022 8:27 AMI have been donating blood since 1991 (I'm old). I have O- blood and that seems to always be in need. I donate because it is something simple I can do to help someone out. Also I'm not scared of needles. -
Reflection QuestionBalancing Consumption NW Natural Energy Team and Strategic Energy ManagementHow can NW Natural save energy in our buildings and facilities?
Dan Hacker 10/24/2022 9:05 AMI noticed that whenever you walked by the quiet rooms or the meeting rooms at 250 that the lights would turn on. Please make these sensors less sensitive.-
