I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

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

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

I will only use disinfectants where recommended and required by my organization's Infection Prevention and Control department.

I will avoid printing 10 pieces of paper by "going digital" and printing double-sided whenever possible.
