I will make my environmental actions visible with a lawn sign or bumper sticker, or by posting to my social media networks.

This week, I will spend 60 minutes learning more about gaslighting, tone policing, and/or microaggressions so that I can avoid them in my own communication.

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 4 people I disagree with or do not share common experience with.

I will start a systems journal, capturing my thoughts, concerns and learning about peace, justice, and sustainability issues.

I will watch or read the news each day this week with a specific focus on peace, justice, and/or sustainability issues and happenings.

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