Benjamin Coons

I will make 4 new healthcare connections through direct outreach or by joining a green team or industry group to learn from my peers, share best practices, and see if there are opportunities for collaboration.

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

I will spend 10 minute(s) per day practicing Mindfulness and/or Meditation.

I will spend 5 minutes learning about the environmental footprint of the healthcare industry, how it impacts health, and ways I can help reduce it.

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

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

I will recycle 4 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 enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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

I will volunteer 5 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.
