Unit - 7 21st Century Citizens ((top))
Unit 7 argues that you cannot be a "good citizen" of your town if you ignore the supply chain that clothes and feeds you. The cotton in your shirt may have been picked by a child in Uzbekistan. The cobalt in your smartphone battery may have been mined by a laborer in the Congo under duress.
Self-care is not selfish; it is strategic. A burned-out activist helps no one. The modern citizen balances outrage with joy. They unplug on weekends. They garden. They know that sustainability applies to the self as well as the planet. Unit 7 21st Century Citizens
