Processed foods can be less nutritious for our bodies and take more energy and water to produce, which can create more waste, pollution, and offer less benefit to our health. I will enjoy 1 meals per day free of processed foods.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will spend 10 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 10 minutes each day.

Action is to recycle candy and snack wrappers at collection bins in kitchens on 1, 2, and 3rd floors. I am choosing this action to bring awareness to unnecessary waste and challenge staff to do this daily as this call to action incorporates us to do the walk on the BRI Facilities Sustainability Road Map and have some daily exercise in the work place as well!
