I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

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

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

I will reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water each day by installing a toilet tank bank.

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

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.

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

I will replace 10 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

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 make an appointment for my annual physical.
