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.

Allina Health's sustainability program is one important way we support the people we serve by minimizing the impact of our physical footprint. Check out our Climate Action Plan on the AKN which will fulfill our pledge to: reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, become more resilient to the impacts of climate change, and engage with staff and our community to promote climate education and encourage action.

I attend monthly All Together Better Champion meetings as well as share important well-being content with my colleagues!

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 replace 15 minute(s) of screen time per day with other activities, and limit my social media use to once per day.
