Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

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).

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 refuse 3 of single-use paper or plastic bags each day by bringing my own reusable bags or carrying purchased goods another way.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will improve hydration by drinking an additional 24oz 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 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 schedule coffee breaks, lunches, and/or check-in meetings with 4 coworkers to promote connectivity in my workplace.

I will promote equity and support my community by purchasing items at 5 diverse- and/or locally-owned businesses.
