I will work from home 4 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 20 minute(s) each day.

I will replace 5 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will volunteer 10 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

I will make 4 appointments to support my health and well-being (primary care provider, dental, vision, etc.)

I will refuse 1 of single-use paper or plastic bags each day by bringing my own reusable bags or carrying purchased goods another way.

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

I will help others in need and prevent useful items from going to landfill by donating 20 items.

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 avoid printing 5 pieces of paper by "going digital" and printing double-sided whenever possible.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.
