Carlos Durand

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

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

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

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

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

I will sign up for a car-sharing service, or organize car sharing with my neighbors, to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

I will join my neighborhood association or another local group of decision makers.

I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
