This is an opportunity to: 1) start augmenting and improving a patch of poor soil in my yard, 2) support pollinators and other insects, 3) have some locally grown food.

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

I will make 6 new healthcare connections through direct outreach or by joining a green team or industry group to learn from my peers, share best practices, and see if there are opportunities for collaboration.

I will spend 90 minutes learning about the items my organization collects for medical device reprocessing and share this information with colleagues.

I will purchase produce and/or meat from a local farmers market or food co-op to make 4 locally-sourced meals.

I will keep 10 disposable cup(s) and/or bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle, cup, or mug.

I will only use disinfectants where recommended and required by my organization's Infection Prevention and Control department.

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will make 3 appointments to support my health and well-being (primary care provider, dental, vision, etc.)

I will select a greener option when purchasing supplies, such as products that have environmental certifications, less packaging, or other environmental attributes, or come from local vendors.

I will commute to work by bicycle or on foot at least five times in April 2024.

I am going to make ten posts on our re-use platform, Rheaply, this month.
