Teresa Travis

I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will only use reusable containers for my lunches at work or school.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my family, for 0 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

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

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

I will only run the dishwasher when it is completely full to use less water and electricity.

I will tend to a garden each day, or work on starting one.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will wear clothes until they are dirty and only run the washing machine for full loads.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.

I will replace 4 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.
