I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will keep 3 forks, spoons, and/or knives from entering the landfill by using reusable utensils when eating at work.

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 make 3 appointments to support my health and well-being (primary care provider, dental, vision, etc.)

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 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 increase my step count by 500 each day and will take breaks from sitting by briefly getting up and moving once per hour during the day.

I will improve hydration by drinking an additional 32oz 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.
