Angie Schoon

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

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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 keep 3 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 improve hydration by drinking an additional 8oz 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 refuse 1 of single-use paper or plastic bags each day by bringing my own reusable bags or carrying purchased goods another way.

I will keep 3 forks, spoons, and/or knives from entering the landfill by using reusable utensils when eating at work.
