Educate the greater community on eco-friendly practices via social media

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

I commit to dedicating 60 minutes to exploring my organization's quality improvement resources and examining how quality improvement methodologies can support sustainability projects.

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

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 will improve hydration by drinking an additional 12oz of water each day. I will do this by drinking additional servings of water or by drinking water in place of other less healthy beverage options.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 20 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.)

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 60 minutes learning about which items are recyclable both at my workplace and at home since they may be different, and recycle only those items.
