Krista Avery

I will recycle 2 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.

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.

I will share one idea for making my organization more sustainable on our team's feed.

I will recognize 1 colleague(s) for their sustainability efforts on our team feed, in-person, by email, and/or through my organization's recognition platforms.

How can you personally help address climate change? Complete the climate action venn diagram at ayanaelizabeth.com/climatevenn and share your climate action in the feed.

I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will only use disinfectants where recommended and required by my organization's Infection Prevention and Control department.

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

I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

I will replace 30 minute(s) of screen time per day with other activities, and limit my social media use to once per day.

I will volunteer 4 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.
