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

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

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

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

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

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community.

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

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

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

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

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

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.
