I will tend to a garden each day, or work on starting one.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

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

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

I will keep 10 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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

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 improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or some other small improvement.

I will replace inefficient heating and cooling units.

I will sign up for a local CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture).

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will have a group garage sale with friends, family, and/or neighbors.
