I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those who produce my food in other regions of the world to make better choices when I shop.

I will use the resource links provided and spend 100 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

I will spend (___) minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will connect with my community by meeting 1 new neighbor(s) this week.

I will use the communication methods I read about this week to practice effective, compassionate, and nonviolent communication with someone I interact with regularly: my roommate, my parents, my co-work, my partner, my classmates, or my children.

This week, I will practice intentionally listening to 5 people I disagree with or do not share common experience with.
