First Nations Australia: 
NAIDOC WEEK: History - How to take action as an ally - Land Back chat by Ruby Wharton
CHANGE THE DATE - why it matters.
BLM in Australia: A resource list - Systemic Racism: what does it mean? - you can also learn watching films like In My Blood it Runs, Charlie's Country, 10 Canoes, Satelite Boy, Kikki and Kitty (comedy series by Nakkia Lui), NiTV etc. The list is massive, but these are some of our faves as wonderful films in their own right, and as a way to learn about First Nations experiences and culture.

SUSTAINABILITY:
Sustainability requires a whole system approach to life. It can feel overwhelming at times. But over the last 10 years of researching, volunteering, and experimenting, I've learnt that you have to start small, go gently, and remember to start with you. If you're not well, not healthy, are unhappy, or out of balance, then you won't have the energy to keep up the good fight. So start with you. Then you can look at composting, recycling, reducing consumerism, mending, reducing packaging etc. Start with the things that matter most to you.
