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 adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

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 repair an item, such as clothing or an appliance, for myself, a friend, family member, or neighbor.

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

I will recognize 5 colleague(s) for their sustainability efforts by thanking them on our team feed, in-person, by email, and/or through my organization's recognition platforms.

I will work from home 15 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will schedule coffee breaks, lunches, and/or check-in meetings with 4 coworkers to promote connectivity in my workplace.

I will spend 30 minute(s) learning about constructive communication.

I will purchase produce and/or meat from a local farmers market or food co-op to make 5 locally-sourced meals.

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 improve hydration by drinking an additional 120oz 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.
