Peggy McCartney

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 schedule coffee breaks, lunches, and/or check-in meetings with 2 coworkers to promote connectivity in my workplace.

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.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for every day.

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 commit to getting 8 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will make 1 appointments to support my health and well-being (primary care provider, dental, vision, etc.)

I will improve hydration by drinking an additional 20oz 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 work from home 1 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

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

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

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