ANAND TIWARI

I will find out what stocks and bonds are in my investment account portfolio to determine if they align with my values (e.g. environmental, social responsibility, community).

I have been THINKING about it from very long time and after IPCC report, different climate change conferences and our own prime minister requesting the country men to stop single use of plastic. I believe this is something very basic we can do and it can start with immediate effect from our home. We can always use jute carry bags which can be used multiple times. I will bring this concern to my family members and also make people aware about it. I chose this because this is something very easy yet important step i can make to contribute to the ENVIRONMENT and reduce my carbon FOOTPRINT.

Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing and determine if it is right for me.

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

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will volunteer 10 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

Both systemic and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

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 sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

Access to affordable, nutritious food is a food justice issue. I will advocate for local and/or organic food options at work, on campus and/or in the spaces I frequent.

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those who produce my food in other regions of the world to make better choices when I shop.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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.
