Brenda Dittman

I will keep 2 disposable cup(s) and/or bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle, cup, or mug.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 10 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

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

I will spend 10 minutes learning about greenwashing and how to avoid it.

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.

I will make 1 appointments to support my health and well-being (primary care provider, dental, vision, etc.)

I will spend 5 minute(s) per day practicing Mindfulness and/or Meditation.

I will improve hydration by drinking an additional 8oz 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.

I will recycle 5 items at work and/or at home each day, making sure I review recycling program guidelines and only place accepted items that are clean, empty, and dry in the recycling bin.

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

I will commit to getting 5 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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 schedule coffee breaks, lunches, and/or check-in meetings with 2 coworkers to promote connectivity in my workplace.
