Sustainability through Community Action Plan: Family Focus

By Anna Nolan

You cannot begin to tackle the complexity involved in the pursuit of living sustainably until you feel affection for the land and the people around you. Our time in Sólheimar has highlighted the human aspect of that concept for me. It is through my conversations with the eleven girls I’ve spent the last two weeks with that I’ve become confident in my own ability to enact positive change in the realm of sustainability and environmental consciousness. That is why I am choosing to focus my community action plan on my interactions with those around me. My action plan is twofold. I will be living in an intentional community for the next two months, hopefully learning more about things that I can do every day to be more sustainable. After I move out in August, I hope to spread the knowledge I’ve gained from cooperative living with others.Click here to read Anna’s full action plan.
