I will recycle 1 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.

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 spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will increase my step count by 500 each day and will take breaks from sitting by briefly getting up and moving once per hour during the day.

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

I will select a greener option when purchasing supplies, such as products that have environmental certifications, less packaging, or other environmental attributes, or come from local vendors.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 15 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 spend 15 minutes learning about the environmental footprint of the healthcare industry, how it impacts health, and ways I can help reduce it.
