I will take a 30-minute walk outside each day.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 25 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

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

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow showerhead.

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 complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

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 reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

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