I will replace inefficient heating and cooling units.

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.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will replace manual thermostats with programmable ones.

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

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

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

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

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

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

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 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 avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.
