I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

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 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 keep 5 forks, spoons, and/or knives from entering the landfill by using reusable utensils when eating at work.

I will avoid printing 5 pieces of paper by "going digital" and printing double-sided whenever possible.

I will take one action to support local wildlife, such as adding a food or water source, creating shelter/habitat, preventing light pollution, eliminating bird strikes, or another action.

I will save up to 4 gallons (15 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

I will improve hydration by drinking an additional 4oz 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 5 disposable cup(s) and/or bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle, cup, or mug.
