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

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

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors, or purchase items second-hand to reduce resource use.

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

I will promote equity and support my community by purchasing items at 5 diverse- and/or locally-owned businesses.

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 commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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

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).
