I will improve hydration by drinking an additional 40oz of water each day. I will do this by drinking additional servings of water or by drinking water in place of other less healthy beverage options.

I will recycle 5 items at work and/or at home each day, making sure I review recycling program guidelines and only place accepted items that are clean, empty, and dry in the recycling bin.

I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

I will replace 30 minute(s) of screen time per day with other activities, and limit my social media use to once per day.

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors, or purchase items second-hand to reduce resource use.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will help others in need and prevent useful items from going to landfill by donating 10 items.

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

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.

I will repair an item, such as clothing or an appliance, for myself, a friend, family member, or neighbor.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for every day.

I will keep 2 disposable cup(s) and/or bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle, cup, or mug.
