I will keep a journal of all my purchases this week and research their impact on conflicts and social justice.

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

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

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 spend 60 minutes watching a movie about a peace, justice, or sustainability issue I would like to know more about.

This week, I will practice intentionally listening to 4 people I disagree with or do not share common experience with.

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 tell 4 people why peace, justice, and sustainability is important to me and what my vision for a sustainable world is.

I will pick up litter on my street and ask others to join me in taking care of our neighborhood.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 180 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 spend 60 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

I will spend 60 minutes this week learning about restorative justice and conflict resolution opportunities in my own community or state.
