Karen Chacon

Using the guidelines on page 68, I will use the Oxfam “doughnut” diagram to consider how the factors in the inner circle have affected my personal well-being, or what their absence would mean for my life.

I will keep a journal of all my purchases this week and research their impact on conflicts and social justice.

I will observe local, national, and international news each day this week through a conflict resolution lens.

I will write 1 letter(s) or email(s) this week to a public official or company to advocate for sustainable, socially just, and/or peacemaking policies.

I will calculate my ecological footprint and talk with my family or roommates about way we can reduce our negative enviromental impact.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 30 minute(s) this week. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

This week, I will attend one local event or meeting concerning a current issue in my community such as a planning meeting, a town hall, or a training on taking action.

I will tell 2 people why peace, justice, and sustainability is important to me and what my vision for a sustainable world is.

This week, I will practice intentionally listening to 2 people I disagree with or do not share common experience with.
