Summer Satre

I will join my neighborhood association or another local group.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. To reduce the landfill space needed for my lifestyle, I will not use single-use items this week (i.e. plastic straws, plastic cutlery, plastic water bottles, disposable coffee cups, and plastic bags).

I will use the resource links provided and spend 45 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 30 minutes this week learning about restorative justice and conflict resolution opportunities in my own community or state.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 60 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.)

I will connect with my community by meeting 2 new neighbor(s) this week.

I will find out what local sustainability issues are most urgent in my region, including both social and environmental justice concerns.
