Tanna Giroux Larsen

I will plant 4 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 volunteer 8 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

I will purchase produce and/or meat from a local farmers market or food co-op to make 2 locally-sourced meals.

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 spend 15 minute(s) per day practicing Mindfulness and/or Meditation.

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 enjoy 5 meatless meal(s) and/or vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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

I will recycle 2 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.

I will replace 4 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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 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.
