Michele Parker

I will recognize 5 colleague(s) for their sustainability efforts by thanking them on our team feed, in-person, by email, and/or through my organization's recognition platforms.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will keep 6 disposable cup(s) and/or bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle, cup, or mug.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 30 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

I will improve hydration by drinking an additional 64oz 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 cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, or walking and biking instead.

I will spend at least 20 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 volunteer 10 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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 spend 10 minutes learning about the environmental footprint of the healthcare industry, how it impacts health, and ways I can help reduce it.
