I will replace inefficient heating and cooling units.

I will keep 8 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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 enjoy 3 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

I will spend 60 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

I will replace manual thermostats with programmable ones.

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

I will join my neighborhood association or another local group.

I will work from home 2 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

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

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

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.

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