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

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

I will work from home 4 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will save up to 4 gallons (15 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

I will purchase produce and/or meat from a local farmers market or food co-op to make 1 locally-sourced meals.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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 help others in need and prevent useful items from going to landfill by donating 50 items.

I will recycle 2 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 Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

Stop by the Environmental Sustainability Team's Friday open house during Earth Month to drop off an unused/dead e-waste item for recycling with PCs for People! Open House is every Friday on the Armour Academic Center 1st floor (alley side) every Friday from 10a-1pm.
