I will spend 12 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

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

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 research the social or environmental issues in my community that matter to me and tell 2 friends and/or colleagues each day about what I learn.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will find out who in my state makes decisions that impact the environment and express my support for more environmental actions.

I will use an energy meter to monitor my energy use and identify opportunities to save power.

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.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 5 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

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

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will replace 10 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will replace inefficient heating and cooling units.

I will replace manual thermostats with programmable ones.
