I will make my environmental actions visible with a lawn sign or bumper sticker, or by posting to my social media networks.

I will find out who in my state makes decisions that impact the environment and express my support for more environmental actions.

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

I will raise money to support Northwest Earth Institute or another local nonprofit.

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

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

I will not travel for meetings and will instead conduct them virtually.

I will research toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

I will work from home 5 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

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

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 make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will replace 30 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will maintain a record of all my purchases.

I will take a 30-minute walk outside each day.

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

I will volunteer 30 hour(s) in my community.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will adopt a diet free of animal products.

I will lobby my workplace to have reusable dishes and silverware in order to minimize disposables.

I will write down three things every day for two weeks that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

My goal is to always learn, sometimes we need a small daily reminder!
