I will take a walk outside for 20 minutes each day.

I will keep 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will save up to 8 gallons (30 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

I will avoid sending 3 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about the perils of fast fashion and will buy my clothes at second-hand stores when I shop.

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

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

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

I will keep track and reduce my consumption of refined sugars, including sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

Both systemic and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.
