I will spend 35 minutes learning about the ways climate change impacts health.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

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.

I will spend 45 minutes learning about the environmental footprint of the healthcare industry, how it impacts health, and ways I can help reduce it.

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

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

I will only use disinfectants where recommended and required by my organization's Infection Prevention and Control department.

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

I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

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

I will promote equity and support my community by purchasing items at 3 diverse- and/or locally-owned businesses.

Stop by the Environmental Sustainability Team's Friday open house during Earth Month to drop off an unused/dead e-waste item for recycling with PCs for People! Open House is every Friday on the Armour Academic Center 1st floor (alley side) every Friday from 10a-1pm.
