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 adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will keep 7 disposable cup(s) and/or bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle, cup, or mug.

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 keep 10 forks, spoons, and/or knives from entering the landfill by using reusable utensils when eating at work.

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).

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

I will replace 30 minute(s) of screen time per day with other activities, and limit my social media use to once per day.

I will spend 5 minute(s) per day practicing Mindfulness and/or Meditation.

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

I will commit to getting 7 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.
