How can you personally help address climate change? Complete the climate action venn diagram at ayanaelizabeth.com/climatevenn and share your climate action in the feed.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about the environmental footprint of the healthcare industry, how it impacts health, and ways I can help reduce it.

I will recognize 2 colleague(s) for their sustainability efforts on our team feed, in-person, by email, and/or through my organization's recognition platforms.

Your voice matters! Help us improve the One Healthcare Ecochallenge by taking our survey, available starting April 23rd.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about what medical device reprocessing is and how it works, including whether my organization has a program, and if so, which items it collects.

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).

I will read the Ecochallenge feed each day and comment on posts by people who I don't know, but whose content inspires or interests me.

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

I will donate blood in my community to make sure there are adequate supplies for routine medical services and emergencies.

I will schedule coffee breaks, lunches, and/or check-in meetings with 3 coworkers to promote connectivity in my workplace.
