I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

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 5 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 6 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.

I will replace 6 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.

I will spend at least 30 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 make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will spend 5 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

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

I will watch 3 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

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