I will keep 7 forks, spoons, and/or knives from entering the landfill by using reusable utensils when eating at work.

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

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.

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 15 minutes learning about which items are recyclable both at my workplace and at home since they may be different, and recycle only those items.

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 eat a heart healthy diet by adding 3 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.
