Today or each morning, I will bring my own mug to the Forum from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. to fill up my cup with a Ghanaian favorite, Milo, a chocolatey warm drink. We will also have hot coffee if you like to start your morning with a cup of joe. You must bring your own mug or a reusable cup to get points for this action. On Thursday, we will be located at the Gottwald Auditorium in alignment with the Ghanaian guest speaker.

I will attend the Global Engagement Lecture "Ghana to the World: Challenging African Stereotypes One Story at a Time" from Dr. Wunpini Mohammed at 12:00 p.m. in the International Commons.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about the footprint of my food choices.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about the benefits of bus rapid transit.

I will learn about the importance of building community and what building community could look like through a sustainability lens.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 30 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators.

I will learn about the Rights of Nature Movement in Ghana.

I will learn how chocolate farming in Ghana and West Africa impacts our environment and communities.

I will take the waste quiz to ensure I know what is compostable, recyclable, and what goes to the landfill.

Take a photo of yourself from either the Sorting Event, the Milo refill station, or your visit to the Spider Exchange, and send it to [email protected]. If you submit each day, send a different photo. These photos may be used by the Rethink Waste team.

I will read about the Stop Galamsey Movement in Ghana and how individuals engage in environmental activism.
