I will spend 5 minutes learning about greenwashing and how to avoid it.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

Hand washing dishes can use more energy and hot water than running a full dishwasher. To save water, I will scrape instead of rinsing dishes before loading them into the dishwasher, and only run it when it is full.

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 save up to 4 gallons (15 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.
