I will make 1 new healthcare connections at my workplace or beyond to learn from my peers, share best practices, and see if there are opportunities for collaboration.

I will read the Ecochallenge feed each day and comment on posts by people who I don't know, but whose content inspires or interests me.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

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

I will promote a positive environment and uplift others by performing 1 random act(s) of kindness.

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.

I will share one idea for making my organization more sustainable on our team's feed.

I will spend 3 minutes learning about the environmental footprint of the healthcare industry, how it impacts health, and ways I can help reduce it.

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 pledge to take one action that improves the sustainability of my organization in 2025. It can be an action from this challenge or another action that improves resource stewardship.

I will work from home 1 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will schedule coffee breaks, lunches, and/or check-in meetings with 3 coworkers to promote connectivity in my workplace.
