Jose Andrade

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will spend 20 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

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 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).

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 6 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will enjoy 4 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

I will watch 3 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 prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 30 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.
