Question 1: What is your sustainability vice? That one thing that is not beneficial for environmental sustainability, social justice, or your personal health, but that you struggle to go without. Perhaps it is your iPhone, or a daily can of Coca-Cola, or your gas-guzzling Jeep. How can you make it healthier and more sustainable?
Discussion point 1: What is it - What is it made of? Where does it come from? What is its history? What is your connection with it?
Discussion point 2: What processes does it go through - What natural or human processes does it go through? For a consumable like coffee, this would be the production processes to go from a coffee tree seed to a steaming cup of coffee. For a product like an iPhone, it would be the research and manufacturing processes to create the working iPhone in your hand.
Discussion point 3: How does it relate to sustainability? What are its negative impacts? What are its positive impacts? Be sure to address how it relates to the natural environment, to principles of social justice, and to your personal mental and physical health.
Discussion point 4: How could you improve the sustainability of your vice? Is there a healthier, more sustainable, or more local alternative that you could choose instead? How would you change how the product is produced to improve its environmental and social impact?
