Alexander's actions
Understanding Systems through Conflict Transformation
Track My Purchases
I will keep a journal of all my purchases this week and research their impact on conflicts and social justice.
Understanding Systems through Conflict Transformation
Pay Attention to Current Events
I will observe local, national, and international news each day this week through a conflict resolution lens.
It's all connected
Use the Iceberg Activity to Practice Systems Thinking
Using the Iceberg Activity referenced on page 1, I will practice systems thinking with my group.
Responding to Systemic Violence
Reduce Single-Use Disposables
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).
Co-Creating Living Peace
Volunteer In My Community
I will work for peace, justice, and/or sustainability by volunteering 2 hour(s) in my community.
Co-Creating Living Peace
Practice Gratitude For Earth
I will spend 30 minute(s) per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.
Peace Talks
Recognize Manipulative Communication Tactics
This week, I will spend 30 minutes learning more about gaslighting, tone policing, and/or microaggressions so that I can avoid them in my own communication.
It's all connected
Watch a Documentary
I will spend 90 minutes watching a movie about a peace, justice, or sustainability issue I would like to know more about.
Peace Talks
Share my Actions
I will make my environmental actions visible with a lawn sign or bumper sticker, or by posting to my social media networks.
Justice for the Whole Community
Define Justice
Using the guidelines on page 46, I will work with my group to draft a two to three sentence definition of justice that we can agree to use for the rest of this course.
Justice for the Whole Community
Do Nature Activities
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.)
Participant Feed
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?
