Both systemic and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

I will replace manual thermostats with programmable ones.

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

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

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

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

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

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will spend at least 1 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.
