When buying new products, I will search for the sustainable option.

I will walk 1 mile(s) per day instead of driving and avoid sending up to 24.12 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

I will save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow showerhead.

I will avoid wasting water while waiting for the shower or sink to heat up.

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

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will replace 11 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will decide which social or environmental issue in my community is most important to me and tell 1 friends per day about the issue.

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