Health
8000+ Steps
My daily step total ranges from 5000-7000 steps. It always seems like I get so close to 8000 but not always there so I'm going to try to get that daily.
Health
Exercise Daily
Do at Home
Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 25 minute(s) each day.
Waste
Prevent Recycling Contamination
Do at Home
Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 30 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.
Energy
Choose LED Bulbs
Do at Home
I will replace 5 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.
Simplicity
Family Game Hour
Do at Home
I will spend quality time with family and friends by playing low-tech game(s) and/or through the spirit of imagination.
Nature

Small townhome community, trash in different places, would like to see it cleaned up.
