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.

Allina Health's sustainability program is one important way we support the people we serve by minimizing the impact of our physical footprint. Check out our Climate Action Plan on the AKN which will fulfill our pledge to: reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, become more resilient to the impacts of climate change, and engage with staff and our community to promote climate education and encourage action.

I attend monthly All Together Better Champion meetings as well as share important well-being content with my colleagues!

I will spend 10 minutes learning about greenwashing and how to avoid it.

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

I will only use disinfectants where recommended and required by my organization's Infection Prevention and Control department.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 5 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 spend 5 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 spend at least 5 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

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 keep 3 disposable cup(s) and/or bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle, cup, or mug.

I will promote a positive environment and uplift others by performing 2 random act(s) of kindness.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will make 2 appointments to support my health and well-being (primary care provider, dental, vision, etc.)

I will increase my step count by 2000 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.
