Tabatha Brown

I will work from home 5 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I commit to dedicating 90 minutes to exploring my organization's quality improvement resources and examining how quality improvement methodologies can support sustainability projects.

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

I will spend 90 minute(s) learning about constructive communication.

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

I will help others in need and prevent useful items from going to landfill by donating 20 items.

I will improve hydration by drinking an additional 40oz 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.

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

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

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

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).
