Jeanne Poirier

I will research the social or environmental issues in my community that matter to me and tell 1 friends and/or colleagues each day about what I learn. I will also share what I learn on the Ecochallenge feed.

I will spend 15 minutes per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and my natural surroundings.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 15 minutes each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

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 spend 45 minutes learning how conflict between people impacts people + planet.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will watch 1 documentaries 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 minutes learning about restorative justice and conflict resolution.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about the experiences of trans, femme, and/or nonbinary people.

I will watch 2 documentaries about systemic racism to learn more about how it affects us and the planet.

I will spend 35 minutes learning about constructive communication.

I will spend 10 minutes reading the Ecochallenge feed each day and giving high fives or commenting on posts by people who I don't know, but whose content inspires or interests me.
