Kate Poland

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

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

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 spend 90 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 90 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will spend at least 90 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

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

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
