William Bechtel

I will spend 30 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 collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in recycling dumpsters or my curbside bin.

I will spend at least 30 minute(s) touring (virtually or in person) a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about our local waste and waste recovery streams.

I will use an energy meter to monitor my energy use and identify opportunities to save power.

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 replace 30 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

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

I will spend 30 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

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 eat a heart healthy diet by adding 1 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.
