Patric Preston

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.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will register to vote with my state or local election office.

I will check labels on my shampoo, lotions and/or beauty products. I'll replace products that use known carcinogens such as formaldehyde, cocamide diethanolamine, DMDM hydantoin or benzene.

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients per day.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, and only buying the ingredients I need.

I will decide which environmental issue in my community is most important to me and tell 0 friends per day about the issue.

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

I will write down three things that I am grateful for each day OR reach out to thank someone who's doing something positive for our world's health and well-being each day.

I will refrain from going out during the week and instead choose sober and healthy activities like exercising, advocating for change and getting outdoors.

I will carefully fill my plate in the dining hall and take only what I can eat. I'll also inquire about ways to improve composting and use of recyclable foodware.

I will exercise daily for 15 minute(s) per day for two weeks.

I will ride the train 0 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 0.0 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
