Action Track: Building Resilience
Spend Time Outside

Action Track: Building Resilience

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.
Action Track: Building Resilience

I will spend at least 10 minutes a day using the resources provided to learn about water justice and find out how I can get involved in local initiatives.

Norah Bolton 5/01/2020 8:24 AMThere is always more to learn. While doing this I have to some extent neglected my blog on environmental issues. Thus now it is time to get back to the long string of new things to read and post. The Ecochallenge is an excellent learning tool - and I'l promote it for another event. Thanks to all partiicpants. -
Norah Bolton 4/30/2020 6:44 AMThanks to everyone on this team on its last day. We were a small but mighty force. I hope that the parish of SMM will consider this in the future as one of the ways to build awareness of the environment and our role as Co-Creators of its care. Well done. -
Norah Bolton 4/29/2020 6:57 AMAdding a walk to my grocery shopping by deliberately taking a long route both ways is good for both body and soul! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Building Resilience Watch a Documentary about Food SovereigntyHow does food sovereignty address the complex agrarian transition to modern food systems?
Norah Bolton 4/26/2020 9:10 AMI'm reading A History of More by Hope Lauren. She notes that if those of us in the west ate 50% less meat, the remaining amount would feed the hungry as well as helping the environment. It's an excellent read outlining the progress of how doing more since she was born in 1969 had affected every aspect of our lives. -
Norah Bolton 4/23/2020 8:05 AMWalking yesterday was cold but it does make one feel better in our current situation. Many earth day activities were added inthe morning's emails. -
Norah Bolton 4/19/2020 9:32 AMWeather hasn't been the best for walking this week - and missed at least one day - felt good about helping provide food for our community dinner program - but missed seeing the guests, who enjoy meeting together and can't sit at the same tables right now. -
Norah Bolton 4/15/2020 2:19 PMCold walking today - but dressed for it! -
Norah Bolton 4/13/2020 1:44 PMReal windy today so walk was curtailed. Spent a few minutes reading a water justice article - and wondered whether the WaterDocs Festival in Toronto has gone online - since it would be happening just about now. -
Norah Bolton 4/12/2020 1:26 PMWe are the third highest scoring team in Canada today - not bad for six of us - the winning team is about 600 points ahead - but it has 19 members. Let's get after some people to boost our score.
