TIM DOWNING

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

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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

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

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

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

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

I will avoid wasting water while waiting for the shower or sink to heat up.

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