Linda's actions
At Home
Practice the 5 r's
I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.
One Healthcare
Use A Reusable Mug/Bottle
I will keep 4 disposable cup(s) and/or bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle, cup, or mug.
One Healthcare
Climate Change Impacts on Health
I will spend 5 minutes learning about the ways climate change impacts health.
At Work
Turn It Off
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).
One Healthcare
Random Act of Kindness
I will promote a positive environment and uplift others by performing 1 random act(s) of kindness.
At Home
Learn the Truth about Expiration Dates
I will spend at least 5 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

REFLECTION QUESTIONAt Work Use Reusables at WorkWhile one's plastic cutlery is a seemingly very small part of someone's "plastic impact", why do you think it's important for us to address this opportunity to reduce?
Linda Stanford 4/01/2024 10:04 AMIf I reduce my plastic usage for every work day, that is 240 pieces per year. If 10 of my colleagues do the same, that's 2400 pieces per year which seems like it will make a difference.
