Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

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 keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 20 minute(s) each day.

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 replace 1 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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