Health
Avoid refined sugar
I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.
Food
Locally-Sourced Meals
I will source 3 meal(s) each day from local producers.
Nature

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 60 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.
Transportation
Use Public Transit
I will use public transit 24 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 13.58 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
Waste
Compost Food Waste
I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.
