I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 4 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 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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

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 spend 30 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.
