Rhonda DiPhilippo

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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.
