Antea DeMarsilis

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about how indoor air quality impacts health and commit to taking one action to improve indoor air quality in my living space.

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 enjoy 6 meatless meal(s) and/or vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will improve hydration by drinking an additional 8oz 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.

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

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

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

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