A community can be brought to its knees without dependable power, often affecting the most vulnerable. I will write 1 letter(s) or email(s) per day to a public official or company to advocate for a more resilient power grid (e.g. microgrids, solar+storage).

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

I will spend 33 minute(s) learning about constructive communication.

I will make sure I’m registered to vote. While I’m at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!

I will spend 30 minutes learning about food apartheid and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

I will use the resource links provided and spend 60 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 at least 15 minutes finding out what local laws, policies, and practices keep people from voting in my community.

I will spend quality time with family and friends by playing low-tech game(s) and/or through the spirit of imagination.

I will organize Ecochallenge.org's discussion course A Different Way: Living Simply in a Complex World with my family, friends, co-workers, or classmates.

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

We may find more meaning and joy in life when our actions are aligned with our personal values. I will determine what my top 3-5 core values are so that I can better align my actions with them.
