The time has come for each person to act in support of everyone else instead of only their own self-interest. This means forming a social contract with future generations. In my remaining lifetime, I choose to change my lifestyle, how I manage my wealth, what I do with my time and money so that I am acting to support a sustainable society.
By 2020, we will be at net zero. That means we will be producing and capturing carbon so that our net contribution to the atmosphere is zero.
- reduce our use of electrical energy from non-renewable sources to zero.
- manage our money using local financial institutions
- use our land to grow as much of our own food as possible
- buy locally grown food or grown in Oregon
- reduce, reuse and recycle
- decrease our waste stream
- manage water use to conserve during dry months
Energy: electricity, transportation, purchases
Food: grow or buy local, support global sustainable practices by buying food that meet sustainable criteria.
Transportation: energy efficient, hybrid or electric, future?
Clothes: turn over wardrobe to support sustainable businesses
Legacy: Use wealth to support the next generation.
Strategic Plan
What are the weaknesses of the current social system, government and capitalist system?
