I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will sign up for a local CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture).

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

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

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

I will spend 2 minutes each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.

I will connect with a local nonprofit, environmental or otherwise, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

I will spend at least 60 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 get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will replace manual thermostats with programmable ones.
