Pete Van Horn

I will spend at least 10 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

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

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 keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will replace 10 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

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

I will spend at least 10 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 engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 10 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 1 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 10 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

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

I will meet 1 new neighbor(s) each day.
