Allicia Firkus

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

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 30 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will take a 30-minute walk outside each day.

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

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 1 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

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

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 20 minute(s) each day.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
