I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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 replace 1 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will repair an item, such as clothing or an appliance, for myself, a friend, family member, or neighbor.

I will prevent water from being wasted by reporting one or more leaky faucets, toilets, or other water leaks to my organization's facilities team for repair.

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

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).

I will avoid printing 10 pieces of paper by "going digital" and printing double-sided whenever possible.

I will recycle 4 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.

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.
