Eva Villalobos

I will work for peace, justice, and/or sustainability by volunteering 6 hour(s) in my community.

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 sign a petition in support of an environmental or social initiative in my state.

Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

I will volunteer 4 hours this week to help refugees or others affected by violence to feel more comfortable or get the resources they need in my community.

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

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

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.

I will learn what local organizations are working on peace, justice, and/or sustainability issues and how I can get involved.
