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 improve hydration by drinking an additional 20oz 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 adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

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 replace 5 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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

I will volunteer 3 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

I will help others in need and prevent useful items from going to landfill by donating 10 items.

I will keep 2 disposable cup(s) and/or bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle, cup, or mug.

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.
