Karen's actions
One Healthcare
Climate Change Impacts on Health
I will spend 15 minutes learning about the ways climate change impacts health.
At Work
Last to Leave? Lights Out, Please!
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.
Health & Well-being
Exercise Daily
Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.
At Work
Go Paperless
I will avoid printing 3 pieces of paper by "going digital" and printing double-sided whenever possible.
Health & Well-being
More Fruits and Veggies
I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.
One Healthcare
Environmental Footprint of Healthcare
I will spend 15 minutes learning about the environmental footprint of the healthcare industry, how it impacts health, and ways I can help reduce it.
In Our Communities
Support Pollution Reduction
I will spend at least 15 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.
In Our Communities
Keep My Community Clean
I will pick up 1 piece(s) of litter each day.
At Home
Practice the 5 r's
I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

REFLECTION QUESTIONAt Work Go PaperlessHave you considered doing a review of your work practices to see if there are opportunities to go digital with a process that has historically been paper-based at your organization?
Karen Mayher 4/02/2024 8:38 AMOne area I reduced paper usage is with Oracle entries. I found that printouts of my entries into Oracle for supply purchases and service contract entries was not necessary, so I stopped that practice. I now document the requisition numbers electronically on spreadsheets in my computer to keep track of them. -
