You'll be an One Healthcare Ecochallenge 2025 expert in no time!
I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 1 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.
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 purchase produce and/or meat from a local farmers market or food co-op to make 5 locally-sourced meals.
I will help others in need and prevent useful items from going to landfill by donating 5 items.
I will take one action to support local wildlife, such as adding a food or water source, creating shelter/habitat, preventing light pollution, eliminating bird strikes, or another action.
I will reflect on how I am feeling and express myself through writing, art, music, physical activity, or another creative way to enhance well-being
I will pick up 2 piece(s) of litter each day.
I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 10 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)
I will keep 10 forks, spoons, and/or knives from entering the landfill by using reusable utensils when eating at work.
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?
