Maria Arneson

I will avoid sending food waste to the landfill by composting my food scraps.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for every day.

I will improve hydration by drinking an additional 8oz of water each day. I will do this by drinking additional servings of water or by drinking water in place of other less healthy beverage options.

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

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will keep 3 forks, spoons, and/or knives from entering the landfill by using reusable utensils when eating at work.

No one person can do everything, but we can all do something. Making one person's worth of difference matters! Share an impact you made related to an Ecochallenge action that you are proud of in the feed.

I will schedule coffee breaks, lunches, and/or check-in meetings with 5 coworkers to promote connectivity in my workplace.

I will promote a positive environment and uplift others by performing 1 random act(s) of kindness.

I will keep 1 disposable cup(s) and/or bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle, cup, or mug.

I will donate blood in my community to make sure there are adequate supplies for routine medical services and emergencies.

Your voice matters! Help us improve the One Healthcare Ecochallenge by taking our survey, available starting April 23rd.

I will recycle 3 items at work and/or at home each day, making sure I review recycling program guidelines and only place accepted items that are clean, empty, and dry in the recycling bin.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will volunteer 1 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

I will help others in need and prevent useful items from going to landfill by donating 10 items.
