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

I will keep 3 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 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 avoid sending 5 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

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

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 120 minutes assessing the vehicles used by my company or college and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on fuel-efficient vehicles.

I will have a group garage sale with friends, family, and/or neighbors.

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

I will work from home 2 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will sign up for a car-sharing service, or organize car sharing with my neighbors, to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.
