  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Health & Equity
    Why is equity for gender diverse individuals important for a just and sustainable society?

    Unequal societies are less cohesive. They have larger rates of anti-social behavior and violence. Countries with higher gender equality are more connected. Their people have better wellbeing.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Health & Equity
    Why is it important to honor native and indigenous peoples and cultures? What have you learned that is important to you? If you identify with or are a member of an indigenous group, how does your community practice sustainability?

    Indigenous Peoples help protect our environment, fight climate change, and build resilience to natural disasters, yet their rights aren’t always protected. Learning about Aboriginal cultures is essential for students to develop the ability to respect, coexist, and communicate with people of different cultural backgrounds and ethnic groups.

    I chose to do the Ecochallenge to educate myself. To gain a broader knowledge of the different ways my family and myself can contribute towards making "real" environmental impact.  It takes a village to create change and I am happy to part of the village!

    I will not water my yard this summer to reduce our households water use. I already do not wash dishes unless the sink is full.
