Mackenzie Nolan

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will research the social or environmental issues in my community that matter to me and tell 4 friends and/or colleagues about what I learn.

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 up for an Anti-Racist, Anti-Bias Training and encourage my friends and colleagues to join me.

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

I will spend (___) minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will spend 30 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will tell 2 people why peace, justice, and sustainability is important to me and what my vision for a sustainable world is.

I will spend 80 minutes watching a movie about a peace, justice, or sustainability issue I would like to know more about.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 30 minutes this week to reflect on the systems I am a part of and my role in them.
