I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

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

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

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

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

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.
