I will use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 60 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 30 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will replace 120 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

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

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

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

I will create a rain garden or bioswale, or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

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

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

Both system 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.
