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

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will take a 15-minute walk outside each day.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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

I will decide which social or environmental issue in my community is most important to me and tell 2 friends and/or classmates each day about the issue.

Cheap, single-use items and disposable packaging end up blowing around as litter more often in poor and POC-majority neighborhoods. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

I will spend at least 10 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 keep track and reduce my consumption of refined sugars, including sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with durable non-plastic options.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 45 minute(s) each day.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.
