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 avoid printing 5 pieces of paper by "going digital" and printing double-sided whenever possible.

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 eat a heart healthy diet by adding 3 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 60 minutes learning about which items are recyclable both at my workplace and at home since they may be different, and recycle only those items.

I will promote equity and support my community by purchasing items at 10 diverse- and/or locally-owned businesses.

I will improve hydration by drinking an additional 16oz 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.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 60 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 60 minute(s) each day.

I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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

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 spend 60 minutes learning about how indoor air quality impacts health and commit to taking one action to improve indoor air quality in my living space.

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 purchase produce and/or meat from a local farmers market or food co-op to make 10 locally-sourced meals.

I will increase my step count by 50 each day and will take breaks from sitting by briefly getting up and moving once per hour during the day.
