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.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 6 minute(s) each day.

I will improve hydration by drinking an additional 2oz of water each day. I will do this by drinking additional servings of water or by drinking water in place of other less healthy beverage options.

I will spend at least 20 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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

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 enjoy 4 meatless meal(s) and/or vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will schedule coffee breaks, lunches, and/or check-in meetings with 2 coworkers to promote connectivity in my workplace.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about some of the ways my organization makes its laboratories more sustainable and ways we can improve.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about some of the ways my organization makes its operating rooms more sustainable and ways we can improve.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about what medical device reprocessing is and how it works, including whether my organization has a program, and if so, which items it collects.

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

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