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 work from home 2 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I pledge to take one action that improves the sustainability of my organization in 2025. It can be an action from this challenge or another action that improves resource stewardship.

I will promote equity and support my community by purchasing items at 3 diverse- and/or locally-owned businesses.

I will learn one new fact about my community each day (history, geography, local wildlife, resources, programs, current issues, goals, etc.)

Your voice matters! Help us improve the One Healthcare Ecochallenge by taking our survey, available starting April 23rd.

I will reflect on how I am feeling and express myself through writing, art, music, physical activity, or another creative way to enhance well-being

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

I will read the Ecochallenge feed each day and comment on posts by people who I don't know, but whose content inspires or interests me.

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

I will save a case of sparkling (8 cans) water by drinking tap water instead.
