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 Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

I will make 1 new healthcare connections through direct outreach or by joining a green team or industry group to learn from my peers, share best practices, and see if there are opportunities for collaboration.

UC San Diego Health Sustainability is conducting an anonymous transportation survey to learn more about how our teams travel to and from work. Your participation will inform our efforts to implement transportation programs and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction strategies that reduce the environmental impacts from commuting, fleet, and business air travel.

I will recognize 3 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 promote a positive environment and uplift others by performing 1 random act(s) of kindness.

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors, or purchase items second-hand to reduce resource use.
