ADHAM KHALIL

I will spend 5 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

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

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

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 6 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will spend 5 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

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

I will enjoy 4 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

I will organize one of NWEI's discussion courses on food sustainability, 'Menu for the Future' or 'Hungry for Change', with my family, friends, coworkers, or classmates.

I will spend at least 10 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

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

I will keep 6 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will avoid sending 4 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.
