Heidi Timm

I will spend 10 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will replace manual thermostats with programmable ones.

I will use public transit 8 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 1.77 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

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

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

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 eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.
