I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

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 spend at least 60 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 avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

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

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing and deterimine if it is right for me.

I will replace my lawn with a drought-tolerant landscape and save the water, money, and time I used to spend cutting the grass.
