Merry's actions
Food
Buy From a Farmers Market
I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.
Water
Conserve Toilet Water
I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.
Energy
SERVICE MY HVAC
I will have a certified HVAC technician service my heat pump/air conditioning unit prior to the heating and cooling seasons.
Waste
BORROW INSTEAD OF BUY
I will borrow items that I need, but plan to use infrequently, rather than purchase.
Transportation
Walk Instead
I will walk 5 mile(s) per day instead of driving and avoid sending up to 3.26 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
Waste
Recycle Everything I Can
I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.
Nature
Do Nature Activities
I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my family, for 60 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.)
Transportation
Practice fuel efficient driving
I will maintain a steady highway speed on the highway, accelerate and decelerate gently, not idle my car for more than 2 minutes, and make sure my tires are inflated.
Transportation
INCREASE AWARENESS OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
I will visit Link Transit's website at linktransit.com to learn what route(s) I can utilize for my most common travel. Action Resource > >
Nature
Tend a Garden
I will tend to a garden each day, or work on starting one.
Waste
DONATE UNNEEDED ITEMS
I will donate unneeded clothing, books, and household items rather than throwing them away.

Merry Roy 5/23/2017 7:22 PMHot weather means our gardens need monitoring for water --not too much but enough. -
Merry Roy 5/22/2017 4:19 PMHow about staying at home instead of gallivanting? There should be a place for that, I say as I veg out here sorting boxes and reading the memories and treasures I unearth. -
Merry Roy 5/20/2017 10:18 PMThe bird festival in Leavenworth was a great deal of fun. We met good people from all around the state and helped kids find birds (wooden replicas) in the trees around Barn Beach. -
Merry Roy 5/18/2017 8:41 PMI hope to see some of the team members at the Bird Festival in Leavenworth this weekend. There have been many western tanagers hanging out around here this year. Have you seen them?-
Debra Lapo 5/18/2017 9:56 PMMerry - We had a Western Tanager pair in our neighborhood/trees most of Wednesday. Their colors are so amazing.

Merry Roy 5/16/2017 8:46 PMIt rained today so I just pulled weeds in my garden and in my neighbors yard. -
Merry Roy 5/14/2017 5:32 PMI completed the Link bus survey. It was interesting to see all the choices they have to make. When I rode the Link to Orondo School, I found it to be a supportive and friendly community of people. -
Merry Roy 5/13/2017 11:39 AMFun first day at the farmers' market --asparagus, kale, bread and honey -
Merry Roy 5/12/2017 7:41 PMI got on my dashboard through my husband's magic touch. Still difficult.
The kick-off party tonight was very good and not even rained out.
