I will refrain from going out during the week and instead choose sober and healthy activities like exercising, advocating for change and getting outdoors.
Health
Avoid Artificial Sweeteners
I will cut out or reduce all artificial sweeteners in my diet, especially acesulfame potassium, aspartame, sucralose and saccharin - all which can decrease human health and pollute our waterways.

I will choose organic as often as possible to reduce exposure to pesticides, which are unhealthy for me as well as the planet.
