DIEGO ORTIZ CALIX

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 3 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will spend 5 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

I will avoid sending 4 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

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.

I will spend 5 minutes researching environmental justice and environmental racism concerns in my region, who is affected by them, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

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

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

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.

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