I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will improve hydration by drinking an additional 24oz 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.

Hand washing dishes can use more energy and hot water than running a full dishwasher. To save water, I will scrape instead of rinsing dishes before loading them into the dishwasher, and only run it when it is full.

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

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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 commit to getting 45 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 40 minute(s) each day.
