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 spend 30 minutes learning about some of the ways my organization makes its laboratories more sustainable and ways we can improve.

I will keep 5 forks, spoons, and/or knives from entering the landfill by using reusable utensils when eating at work.

I will avoid sending food waste to the landfill by composting my food scraps.

I will keep 4 disposable cup(s) and/or bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle, cup, or mug.

I will save up to 4 gallons (15 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 30 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)
