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 keep 10 forks, spoons, and/or knives from entering the landfill by using reusable utensils when eating at work.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or vegan meal(s) each day this week.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 15 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 help others in need and prevent useful items from going to landfill by donating 20 items.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will save up to 4 gallons (15 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

I will find the ReNewal recycle bins in my unit and recycle my single use pulse oximeter cables.
