Earth Day: Global Sustainable Development Goal# 3 -- Good Health & Well Being!

Zoom Room "Health & Wellbeing Hour"

How are you? Where are you during these days of "shut down" and public health/ service challenge?

Obviously "Meetups" in person have been inadvisable these last 2 months, but we can use technology for "safe socializing"!! As this group has been dedicated to questions of sustainability, we are seeking to foster shared insights on the topics listed in Global Sustainable Development Goals during 2020.

Thanks to Net Impact who allowed us to join a "case" study in February, with young leaders to consider challenges for women-owned farms who are solving for SDG's #1 & #2 Poverty & Hunger. Hosted by Union Kitchen & Food Accelerator in DC, we were also introduced to a solution in action. From Urban to Rural scenarios, we see that governance, socio-economic stratification, ecological climate impacts, gender must all be factored into every decision. Although we all had different ideas, ultimately an important aspect was agreed... that it takes community investment of time, money, energy to bring collective/ community benefits.

Now during the COVID-19 pandemic, we are experiencing profoundly how we truly do impact each other, and the very real issue outlined in Global SDG #3 - Good Health & Wellbeing. We are each challenged to "think globally, act locally" ...where we are asked to change our ways the public good. I have been so deeply impressed by people helping people, in so many compassionate and creative ways!

WHAT HAS IMPRESSED YOU? What has been most challenging for you? How have you been balancing your own health and wellbeing? Who are the heroes that are rising up in your own local area? Are YOU perhaps leading a solution right now?

Will you bring your experience and insights to share?
