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

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

This week, I will practice intentionally listening to 2 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 meditate or create a moment of silence for 25 minutes this week to reflect on the systems I am a part of and my role in them.

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

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