"Save our pollinators-... Building and creating sustainable pollinator gardens for our native pollinators"
I will take one action to support local wildlife, such as adding a food or water source, creating shelter/habitat, preventing light pollution, eliminating bird strikes, or another action.
I will make 1 appointments to support my health and well-being (primary care provider, dental, vision, etc.)
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 Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.
Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.
I will save up to 4 gallons (15 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.
I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.
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 learn one new fact about my community each day (history, geography, local wildlife, resources, programs, current issues, goals, etc.)
I will volunteer 3 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.
I will keep 1 disposable cup(s) and/or bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle, cup, or mug.
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?
