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

I will enjoy 3 meatless meal(s) and/or vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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

I will purchase produce and/or meat from a local farmers market or food co-op to make 3 locally-sourced meals.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

I will refuse 2 of single-use paper or plastic bags each day by bringing my own reusable bags or carrying purchased goods another way.

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