Access to affordable, nutritious food is a food justice issue. I will advocate for equitable food options at work, campus, or in the spaces I frequent by contacting community leaders and/or doing other advocacy actions.

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 spend 30 learning about the past and present indigenous or first nation communities in my regions impacted by colonization, and what I can do to be supportive.

I will spend 10 minutes listening to a podcast about equity and justice.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about the experiences of trans, femme, and/or nonbinary people.

I will shop at a small business owned or staffed by underrepresented members of my community.

I will contact my local election office to volunteer during the upcoming election.

Each day, I will find one or more items I can donate to a local thrift or resale shop.

I will donate blood in my community to make sure there are adequate supplies for routine medical services and emergencies.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute or less showers. Tip: Use a timer to practice or count to 60 a few times.

I will spend 10 minutes listening to a podcast about nature.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about impact investing and/or my current investment portfolio to determine if they align with my values.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and adopt at least one sustainable fashion practice.

I will maintain a record of all my purchases and identify my spending habits.
