I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those who produce my food in other regions of the world to make better choices when I shop.

I will watch 2 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 advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 5 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

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

I will spend 15 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

I will spend at least 15 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 make an appointment for my annual physical.

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

I will keep 10 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
