I will spend 60 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will spend 60 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

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

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

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

I will spend at least 20 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

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

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.

I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

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

I will save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow showerhead.

I will avoid wasting water while waiting for the shower or sink to heat up.
