Liz 's Actions
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.
It's all connected
LEARN ABOUT LOCAL ISSUES
I will find out what local sustainability issues are most urgent in my region, including both social and environmental justice concerns.
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.
Responding to Systemic Violence
Support Businesses Owned by People of Color
Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.
Justice for the Whole Community
Learn About Local Environmental Justice Concerns
I will spend 30 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.
Justice for the Whole Community
Support Native Communities
I will use the resource links provided and spend 30 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.
Responding to Systemic Violence
Sign Up for ABAR Training
I will sign up for an Anti-Racist, Anti-Bias Training and encourage my friends and colleagues to join me.
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.

Liz Zavodsky (EcoChallenge Staff) 9/18/2019 9:14 AMUsing a conflict resolution lens has been really eye opening for me. I have seen all these things before, but notice the differently through this lens. What's also helpful in using this lens is seeing myself through it and where I can make more changes. This is powerful. -
Liz Zavodsky (EcoChallenge Staff) 8/27/2019 8:11 AMConstructive communication is something I have found myself practicing many times over the years and this time I want to make sure it becomes ingrained in me. I believe I keep more and more each time I am mindful, but I really want to commit to more. Thanks for the rich discussion on this last week everyone, it was powerful.-
Christopher Snow 8/27/2019 9:22 AMSame! I find myself over and over going back to the questions "what are you trying to accomplish? What's the best way to get there?" It helps to keep me purposeful and engaged, particularly in tense or contentious discussions. In almost every situation, professional and private, one of the things I'm trying to accomplish is "build stronger relationships" and keeping that front of mind is a great way to stay constructive even when I'm feeling frustrated.
