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 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.

This week, I will practice intentionally listening to 5 people I disagree with or do not share common experience with.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 5 minutes this week to reflect on the systems I am a part of and my role in them.

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