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 sign up for a car-sharing service, or organize car sharing with my neighbors, to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

I will cook 3 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow showerhead.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.
