ANGIE RAPOSO

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

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

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

I will plant 1 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will spend at least 60 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 2 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

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

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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.

I will replace my lawn with a drought-tolerant landscape and save the water, money, and time I used to spend cutting the grass.

I will begin, or continue, on the journey of forgiving myself and/or other(s). I may do this through journaling, meditation, prayer, and/or talking with a licensed healthcare professional.

I will make sure I’m registered to vote. While I’m at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!

I will practice actively listening to a friend, family member, co-worker, acquaintance, or someone who I may disagree with in at least 20 conversations.
