If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cups to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

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

I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottles from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will spend at least 10 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

I will find out what food programs are in my area and donate food and/or other items that they request.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 3.4lbs (1.5kg) a month or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will avoid sending up to 0.42 lbs (0.19 kg) of food waste to the landfill per day by composting my food.

I will spend 10 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

Regular health check-ups help prevent problems before they start. I will schedule or attend a medical, dental, or mental health check-up to take care of my well-being.

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

I will make sure I’m registered to vote. While I’m at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!

I will use the resource links provided and spend 10 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.
