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

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

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

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug.

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

I will visit a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

I will only use reusable containers for my lunches at work or school.

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

I will volunteer 10 hour(s) in my community.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

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 power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 per day that I do this.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and subscriptions.

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

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.
