Marlene Olveda

I will cook a new recipe every day that features organic and/or local ingredients.

I will exercise daily for 60 minute(s) per day for two weeks.

I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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

I will reduce the amount of unwanted mail I receive (catalogs, phone books, etc.).

I will not purchase anything but food and water during the Challenge.

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

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

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

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

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

I will learn about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.
