John Duran

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

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.

Both system and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will spend at least 15 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

I will replace 2 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will offer to help 1 person(s) who are in need each day.

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

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

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.
