I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 10 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.)

I will pick up 1 piece(s) of litter each day.

I will increase my step count by 100 each day and will take breaks from sitting by briefly getting up and moving once per hour during the day.

I will make 1 appointments to support my health and well-being (primary care provider, dental, vision, etc.)

I will attend or watch a recording of a webinar 1 minutes long covering one or more healthcare sustainability issues.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will repair an item, such as clothing or an appliance, for myself, a friend, family member, or neighbor.

I will turn my computer monitor(s) off at my work station when not in use to save energy (I will follow my organization's IT instructions for keeping on, turning off, or restarting computers).

Lighting makes up approximately 10% of hospitals' energy use on average. I will save energy by turning off unnecessary lights when not in use and when I am the last one to leave a space.
