Stephanie Edmonds

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 help others in need and prevent useful items from going to landfill by donating 50 items.

I will make 1 appointments to support my health and well-being (primary care provider, dental, vision, etc.)

Your voice matters! Help us improve the One Healthcare Ecochallenge by taking our survey, available starting April 23rd.

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

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

I will spend 15 minutes learning about greenwashing and how to avoid it.

I will recycle 10 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.

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

Allina Health's sustainability program is one important way we support the people we serve by minimizing the impact of our physical footprint. Check out our Climate Action Plan on the AKN which will fulfill our pledge to: reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, become more resilient to the impacts of climate change, and engage with staff and our community to promote climate education and encourage action.

I attend monthly All Together Better Champion meetings as well as share important well-being content with my colleagues!
