Lauri S

I will repair an item, such as clothing or an appliance, for myself, a friend, family member, or neighbor.

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

I will prevent water from being wasted by reporting one or more leaky faucets, toilets, or other water leaks to my organization's facilities team for repair.

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.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes learning about which items are recyclable both at my workplace and at home since they may be different, and recycle only those items.

I will recycle 2 items at work and/or at home each day, making sure I review recycling program guidelines and only place accepted items that are clean, empty, and dry in the recycling bin.

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).

I will avoid printing 10 pieces of paper by "going digital" and printing double-sided whenever possible.

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

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