Caitie Hawley

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 implemented one suggestion from the Guidelines to Balance Building Operations, Sustainability & Comfort at Seattle Children's Facilities

I will place all my disposable paper cups and plastic lids only in the recycling bins around the hospital.

I will pick up 01 piece(s) of litter each day.

I will read the Ecochallenge feed each day and comment on posts by people who I don't know, but whose content inspires or interests me.

I will promote a positive environment and uplift others by performing 1 random act(s) of kindness.

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

I will donate blood in my community to make sure there are adequate supplies for routine medical services and emergencies.

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

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.

Your voice matters! Help us improve the One Healthcare Ecochallenge by taking our survey, available starting April 23rd.

I will promote equity and support my community by purchasing items at 1 diverse- and/or locally-owned businesses.

Hand washing dishes can use more energy and hot water than running a full dishwasher. To save water, I will scrape instead of rinsing dishes before loading them into the dishwasher, and only run it when it is full.

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 create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors, or purchase items second-hand to reduce resource use.

I will replace 10 minute(s) of screen time per day with other activities, and limit my social media use to once per day.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for every day.
