Reflect: Fixing mistakes and giving thanks Estimated reading time: 1 minute November Topic: #LandBack This week's module: ✅ 1. READ | ✅ 2. LISTEN | ✅ 3. ACT | 🎯 4. REFLECT Welcome back to Changeletter by Soapbox Project. I'm the author, Nivi Achanta, and I make it easy for you to fight climate change in 3 minutes every week.   What's up this week I'm trying something new today for the first time in Soapbox history . I'm not sending you any ✨content✨ for today's REFLECT module. Instead, I'm asking you to take this 30-second survey where you can report the actions you took (or plan on taking) for LANDBACK. When you fill out the quick survey, you'll receive: A link to our holiday gift guide (30 eco-friendly gift ideas that you can totally procrastinate on) A thread on common Thanksgiving foods and how farmers actually grow them 10 Native American recipes by The Sioux Chef  First, I must apologize. The White Buffalo Land Trust, a land stewardship charity I recommended you donate to last week, is NOT Native-owned or led. They do wonderful regenerative ag work, but don't appear to be Indigenous-led and I misunderstood their leadership structure (and should have been more thorough). If you've given me money so I can get you a donation match (@nivi- on Venmo or paypal.me/soapboxproject), I'm going to be rerouting your donations to the First Nations Development Institute. I am really sorry for this, but deeply grateful to our community (thanks Andi) for gently holding me accountable and giving me the opportunity to fix it! This is why community is so important to me, and the only way I can see us building the just future we desire.  Spotlight: Carbon Collective For the last 3 weeks, I've been raving about our sponsor Carbon Collective, with whom I recently rolled over my retirement account. This was a big life decision, so I wanted to know how they picked their list of stocks and bonds that are all in my portfolio! A few exciting things:    They relied on a list of solutions created by top scientists and economists at Project Drawdown It's not just anti-fossil fuels; my investments benefit women's rights, wetlands restoration, and more Their 2022 list includes 169 companies solving climate change, marking a 60% increase in climate solution stocks on the market! ⭐ Get started here.   Your bite-sized actions All you have to do is take this 30-sec survey based on what we sent last week. Reminder to take action now if you forgot to do it previously . You can report your actions (or commitments) for 3 things: Finding out whose land you live on (native-land.ca or whose.land)   Downloading the iNaturalist app for free   Donating $25 to LANDBACK efforts (paypal.me/soapboxproject, Venmo @nivi-, or contribute directly to First Nations. If you donate through us, your match will likely be quadrupled -- we'll provide a 2x corporate match and First Nations is matching as well.)  You'll receive your holiday gift guide, info thread, and 10 recipes in the thank you page. That's it for today !
