Commitment to Care

After the assembly about commitment to care, I have been inspired to care more for the environment. A topic that was discussed was the issue of veggie Wednesday, and how much we were going to commit to this. Veggie Wednesday is a meat free day at school, 2 times a month. I’ve decided that I will be an associate, I will do veggie Wednesday and perhaps have vegetarian meals on other days. I already kind of do this, but not consciously. Some days I will find that I’ve gone the whole day without eating meat, but now I can be more conscious of this and make it a habit. I can also make my family aware of this movement, and tell them how much this helps the environment just by having 1 meat free day a week. An associate is in the middle of the scale, between the two extremes antagonist (avoids veggie Wednesday, orders take out on veggie Wednesday) and activist (actively promotes veggie Wednesday, works with others to increase/make it better).
