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 keep 2 forks, spoons, and/or knives from entering the landfill by using reusable utensils when eating at work.

I will improve hydration by drinking an additional 20oz 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.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 20 minute(s) each day.

I will recognize 1 colleague(s) for their sustainability efforts on our team feed, in-person, by email, and/or through my organization's recognition platforms.

I will share one idea for making my organization more sustainable on our team's feed.

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