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 eat a heart healthy diet by adding 1 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will donate blood in my community to make sure there are adequate supplies for routine medical services and emergencies.

I will read the Ecochallenge feed each day and comment on posts by people who I don't know, but whose content inspires or interests me.

Your voice matters! Help us improve the One Healthcare Ecochallenge by taking our survey, available starting April 23rd.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will make 1 appointments to support my health and well-being (primary care provider, dental, vision, etc.)

I will pick up 2 piece(s) of litter each day.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

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 keep 1 forks, spoons, and/or knives from entering the landfill by using reusable utensils when eating at work.
