I will spend 5 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

I will keep 4 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in recycling dumpsters or my curbside bin.

I will avoid sending 4 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 20 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

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

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will watch 3 documentary(ies) about systemic racism.

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

I will install an alternative energy system, such as solar electric systems or solar water heaters.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 3.4lbs (1.5kg) a month or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.
