At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 10 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.

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

I will keep 4 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 3.4lbs (1.5kg) a month or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

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 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper each day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.

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

I will plant 1 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will work from home 1 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will take a 15-minute walk outside each day.

I will find out what stocks and bonds are in my investment account portfolio to determine if they align with my values (e.g. environmental, social responsibility, community).
