Susan'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.
At Work
Work From Home
I will work from home 1 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.
One Healthcare
One Healthcare Ecochallenge Survey
Your voice matters! Help us improve the One Healthcare Ecochallenge by taking our survey, available starting April 23rd.
At Work
Use Reusables at Work
I will keep 6 forks, spoons, and/or knives from entering the landfill by using reusable utensils when eating at work.
At Work
Last to Leave? Lights Out, Please!
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.
At Work
Stay Connected
I will schedule coffee breaks, lunches, and/or check-in meetings with 3 coworkers to promote connectivity in my workplace.
In Our Communities
Use Reusable Bags
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.
Health & Well-being
Exercise Daily
Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.
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.
Health & Well-being
Taking Steps to Promote Well-being
I will increase my step count by 20 each day and will take breaks from sitting by briefly getting up and moving once per hour during the day.

REFLECTION QUESTIONAt 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?
Susan Stone 4/01/2025 9:47 AMThis concept of one spoon at a time reminds me of the starfish story (if you don't know it, look it up). It may appear from the outside that you are not making an impact, but in fact, you are. Every little bit counts. We know ourselves when we make even the slightest impact :) -
