What is microactivism? It's my motto! It's doing small, everyday actions that make a difference. From being zero waste to fighting for human rights, we can do small forms of activism every single day. In fact ,you can even do activism from home! Check out more about what is activism and activism tips below :)

Underneath the cut will be some suggestions in her comments on the YouTube channel for other possible micro activism

Plant native plants

Join/make a buy nothing group that includes food so nothing goes to waste

Repair clothes, machines, items

Explain your low waste/conscious habits

Talk to your local business on ways they could cut down on waste or BYO programs

Using junk mail to make your own paper

Using junk mail as kitty litter

Have a more balanced diet and eat less meat (or whatever your body can handle)

Grow your own food/herbs if possible

Use alternate transportation (biking/walking/car pool/public transportation)

Using smart switches/power strips. (Only certain outlets would only turn on if the outlet it’s connected to turns on in a power strip.)

Sign petitions

Upcycle

Donate, even if it’s a low amount of money

book club

someone suggested starting a "vegan book club" and im thinking about doing it.  id like to expand on that concept and add books about food politics, general activism, capitalism and how race/gender/class pretain to veganism, animal rights and the politics of food.  

im very VERY under read in these area (hence the book club!) and im looking for any and all suggestions! 

what books would you recommend?
