Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 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 replace incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will replace manual thermostats with programmable ones.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

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

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 take a walk outside for minutes each day.

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

I will limit my social media use to once each day reducing my daily use by minute(s)

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

I will not work more than 8 hour days each day to practice work-life balance.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

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