" Working collaboratively is a major part of public health, be it with the community we are focused on, or the health team, or in ministry level, and I hope to exercise it more through this programme. The implementation of study materials is often not possible due to curriculum restrictions and time limits, but through the Millennium Fellowship program this obstacle could be overcome, and we will be able to see various revolutionary plans come into action with the SDGs and UNAI principles interweaved with them. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Sustainably You

I want to encourage people to integrate more sustainable habits into their normal lives. Some habits that anyone could do, easy, and with some practice it will become almost like an unconscious habit. I thought of two habits to implement and if we follow SMART goals: 1) Specific: Always having a separate bag/ using one's own bag for grocery shopping in campus. Measurable: Aiming to always use your own bag everytime shopping alone. Counting the times they need an extra plastic bag. Achievable: Starting with keeping a reusable plastic bag to help building the habit of always using one's own bag. Relevant: Less consumption of plastic and is sustainable. Time-bound: 6 months maintenance could make this a habit. 2) Specific: Making ones own Tiffin. Measurable: Counting the Number of days per week that a student can manage to make their meals. Achievable: Starting with small homemade snacks and then integrate into making decent meals. Relevant: Less consumption of snacks (every snacks outside have plastic packaging), promoting healthy eating. Time-bound: 6 months maintenance could make this a habit.
