Kim Banak

I pledge to take one action that improves the sustainability of my organization in 2025. It can be an action from this challenge or another action that improves resource stewardship.

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 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).

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

I will improve hydration by drinking an additional 24oz 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.

I will promote a positive environment and uplift others by performing 3 random act(s) of kindness.
