Aprill's actions
At Work
Turn It Off
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).
Health & Well-being
More Fruits and Veggies
I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.
Health & Well-being
Reduce Refined Sugar
I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.
At Home
Brush My Teeth Without Water Running
I will save up to 4 gallons (15 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.
At Home
Learn the Truth about Expiration Dates
I will spend at least 5 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.
At Home
Needs Vs. Wants
I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.
At Home
Switch to Cold Water
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.
At Home
Adjust the Thermostat
I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.
Health & Well-being
Exercise Daily
Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

Aprill Graham - United General 4/25/2024 11:38 AMOne project we are trying to get approved at UGMC is to donate reject linens (clean but stained or torn) to local animal shelters. This would be great for recycle/reuse type of thing since they are currently being thrown away. It would be really cool if all of PeaceHealth facilities had some type of system in place to reuse/recycle/donate reject linens and appropriate supplies that cannot be used for patient care and are going to the garbage.-
Aprill Graham - United General 4/25/2024 3:06 PMYes, the Humane Society here is excited that we are going to give them a big load of these unusables. YAY -
Anita Jordan 4/25/2024 12:44 PMThat's an excellent idea. I'm confident that the animal shelters would be grateful as well. -
Tasha Stewart 4/25/2024 12:25 PMI LOVE donating to animal shelters! What a great way to reuse.
