I will work from home 2 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will avoid printing 5 pieces of paper by "going digital" and printing double-sided whenever possible.

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

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

I will schedule coffee breaks, lunches, and/or check-in meetings with 3 coworkers to promote connectivity in my workplace.

I will keep 3 disposable cup(s) and/or bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle, cup, or mug.

No one person can do everything, but we can all do something. Making one person's worth of difference matters! Share an impact you made related to an Ecochallenge action that you are proud of in the feed.

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.

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

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).

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.
