I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 7 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will spend 30 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those who produce my food in other regions of the world to make better choices when I shop.
