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 turn my computer monitor(s) off at my work station when not in use to save energy (I will follow my organization's IT instructions for keeping on, turning off, or restarting computers).

I will replace 45 minute(s) of screen time per day with other activities, and limit my social media use to once per day.

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

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

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

Hand washing dishes can use more energy and hot water than running a full dishwasher. To save water, I will scrape instead of rinsing dishes before loading them into the dishwasher, and only run it when it is full.
