Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 60 minutes learning about which items are recyclable both at my workplace and at home since they may be different, and recycle only those items.

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 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 work from home 2 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.

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.

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

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 45 minute(s) each day.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will enjoy 5 meatless meal(s) and/or vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will recycle 5 items at work and/or at home each day, making sure I review recycling program guidelines and only place accepted items that are clean, empty, and dry in the recycling bin.

I will keep 1 forks, spoons, and/or knives from entering the landfill by using reusable utensils when eating at work.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about what medical device reprocessing is and how it works, including whether my organization has a program, and if so, which items it collects.
