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.

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will keep 1 forks, spoons, and/or knives from entering the landfill by using reusable utensils when eating at work.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 20 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 eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will spend 1 minutes learning about the environmental footprint of the healthcare industry, how it impacts health, and ways I can help reduce it.
