I will donate blood in my community to make sure there are adequate supplies for routine medical services and emergencies.

I will only use disinfectants where recommended and required by my organization's Infection Prevention and Control department.

I will prevent water from being wasted by reporting one or more leaky faucets, toilets, or other water leaks to my organization's facilities team for repair.

I will keep 2 disposable cup(s) and/or bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle, cup, or mug.

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

I will recycle 2 items at work and/or at home each day, making sure I review recycling program guidelines and only place accepted items that are clean, empty, and dry in the recycling bin.

I will replace 6 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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

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.

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 save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will keep 10 forks, spoons, and/or knives from entering the landfill by using reusable utensils when eating at work.

I will work from home 1 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for every day.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 5 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will make 3 appointments to support my health and well-being (primary care provider, dental, vision, etc.)

I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.
