I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

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

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

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

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

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will spend at least 5 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

I will work from home 2 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper each day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.
