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

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

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

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will replace 5 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

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

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 60 minute(s) each day.
