I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will organize one of NWEI's discussion courses, such as 'Reconnecting with Earth', with my family, friends, coworkers, or classmates.

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

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.

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

I will use an energy meter to monitor my energy use and identify opportunities to save power.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 30 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

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

I will install alternative energy systems, such as solar electric systems or solar water heaters.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

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

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.
