I will limit my social media use to once per day.

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

I will watch a documentary film about food with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

I will commute by bike 6 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 7.2 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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

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

I will replace 20 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

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.

I will visit a nearby farm to pick my own fruits and veggies.

I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.
