I will spend 5 minutes listening to a podcast about food.

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

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

Individual actions are important, but people and organizations working together can make a real impact. I will share a carbon calculator with a friend and invite them to calculate the carbon footprint of their household.

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

I will create a rain garden or bioswale or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

I will spend 10 about food apartheid and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

I will calculate my digital carbon footprint and take steps to reduce my CO2 emissions.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

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 keep 4 disposable plastic bottles from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will use an energy meter to monitor my energy use and identify opportunities to save power.

I will calculate my Water Footprint to learn about my tap water use and "virtual water" use.

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

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

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

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

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.
