I will pick up 2 piece(s) of litter each day.

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

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will plant 1 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard. Check out resources for which tree species are best to plant in your area.

I will help others in need and prevent useful items from going to landfill by donating 5 items.

I will avoid sending food waste to the landfill by composting my food scraps.

I will keep 7 disposable cup(s) and/or bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle, cup, or mug.

I will keep 3 forks, spoons, and/or knives from entering the landfill by using reusable utensils when eating at work.

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