Jonathan Burley

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those who produce my food in other regions of the world to make better choices when I shop.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will take a 2-minute walk outside each day.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will take a walk for 2 minutes each day.

I will use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

I will reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water each day by installing a toilet tank bank.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

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

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

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