I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will keep 1 forks, spoons, and/or knives from entering the landfill by using reusable utensils when eating at work.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 20 minutes learning about which items are recyclable both at my workplace and at home since they may be different, and recycle only those 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 use public transit 100 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 10 minute(s) each day.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about the environmental footprint of the healthcare industry, how it impacts health, and ways I can help reduce it.

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

I will keep 1 disposable cup(s) and/or bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle, cup, or mug.
