Learn How War and Conflict Impacts People and the Planet

Wars and conflicts have devastating consequences—not only for people and communities, but also for ecosystems, biodiversity, and the climate. I will spend 10 minutes learning about how war and conflict impact human rights, displacement, and environmental degradation. I’ll explore how peace, justice, and strong institutions are linked to sustainability and resilience.

    If you aren’t going all the way, why go at all?

      I think that sometimes the idea of all in is the goal, but can take steps to get there. I'd rather encourage people to just start, even if it's something small and build progress, than feel as though all in is too much and therefor never start. .

    The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.

    Don't stop when you're tired, stop when you're done

    Transportation
    It takes the average worker in the United States 26 minutes to travel to work. One way to fix long commutes would be to make cities more affordable. An even simpler option: promote the use of telework. How have you used technology to replace in-person meetings or work this year?
