I will spend 30 minute(s) each day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.

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 purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will replace manual thermostats with programmable ones.

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

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

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

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

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

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 spend 20 minutes each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.

I will spend 60 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.
