I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

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

I will select a greener option when purchasing supplies, such as products that have environmental certifications, less packaging, or other environmental attributes, or come from local vendors.

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

How can you personally help address climate change? Complete the climate action venn diagram at ayanaelizabeth.com/climatevenn and share your climate action in the feed.

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

I will avoid sending food waste to the landfill by composting my food scraps.

I will repair an item, such as clothing or an appliance, for myself, a friend, family member, or neighbor.

I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.
