Arnold Sanchez Perez

I will spend 5 minutes learning about the environmental footprint of the healthcare industry, how it impacts health, and ways I can help reduce it.

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 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.

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

I will spend 15 minutes learning about some of the ways my organization makes its operating rooms more sustainable and ways we can improve.
