Patti's Actions
Understanding Systems through Conflict Transformation
Living in the Doughnut
Using the guidelines on page 68, I will use the Oxfam “doughnut” diagram to consider how the factors in the inner circle have affected my personal well-being, or what their absence would mean for my life.
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.
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).
Peace Talks
Communicate Constructively
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.
Peace Talks
Practice Listening
This week, I will practice intentionally listening to 2 people I disagree with or do not share common experience with.
Justice for the Whole Community
Do Nature Activities
I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 30 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.)
Justice for the Whole Community
Support Native Communities
I will use the resource links provided and spend 15 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.
Justice for the Whole Community
Support A Sharing Economy
I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.
It's all connected
PAY ATTENTION TO CURRENT EVENTS
I will watch or read the news each day this week with a specific focus on peace, justice, and/or sustainability issues and happenings.
Co-Creating Living Peace
Practice Gratitude For Earth
I will spend 15 minute(s) per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.
Co-Creating Living Peace
Happiness
I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.
Justice for the Whole Community
Pick Up Litter
I will pick up litter on my street and ask others to join me in taking care of our neighborhood.
Justice for the Whole Community
REDUCE MY FOOTPRINT
I will calculate my ecological footprint and talk with my family or roommates about way we can reduce our negative enviromental impact.
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.
It's all connected
Meditate
I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 15 minutes this week to reflect on the systems I am a part of and my role in them.
