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

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

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

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

I will replace inefficient heating and cooling units.

I will replace 20 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will replace manual thermostats with programmable ones.
