Exercise is needed to stay healthy and if you don't exercise you will become fat

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 180 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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 replace inefficient heating and cooling units.

I will use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

I will raise money to support Northwest Earth Institute or another local nonprofit.

I will limit my social media use to once each day reducing my daily use by 60 minute(s)

I will walk 1 mile(s) each day instead of driving and avoid sending up to 1.21 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will enjoy 3 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

I will avoid wasting water while waiting for the shower or sink to heat up.

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

I will source 2 meal(s) each day from local producers.

I will reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water each day by installing a toilet tank bank.

If buying a plane ticket, I will also buy a carbon offset.

I will organize one of NWEI's discussion courses on food sustainability, 'Menu for the Future' or 'Hungry for Change', with my family, friends, coworkers, or classmates.
