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

I will avoid sending 4 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 4 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will spend at least 30 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

I will replace 10 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.

I will sign up for a local CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture).

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper each day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.
