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 switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will spend 15 minute(s) learning about constructive communication.

I will promote equity and support my community by purchasing items at 3 diverse- and/or locally-owned businesses.

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes learning about which items are recyclable both at my workplace and at home since they may be different, and recycle only those items.

I will avoid printing 5 pieces of paper by "going digital" and printing double-sided whenever possible.

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 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 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 keep 2 forks, spoons, and/or knives from entering the landfill by using reusable utensils when eating at work.

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

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