I will share one idea for making my organization more sustainable on our team's feed.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about greenwashing and how to avoid it.

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.

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 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 enjoy 3 meatless meal(s) and/or vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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