Kjerstin Olson

I will spend 10 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will volunteer 1 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

I will use the resource links provided and spend 10 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.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

I will take a 15-minute walk outside each day.

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will spend 10 minutes each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.

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 de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.
