This document summarizes a strategy to promote social change around climate change and food security issues. The strategy involves launching a weekly hashtag challenge called "#changechallenge" where people document their experiences through photos on Instagram. The photos would show participants engaging in easy lifestyle changes around topics like organic and fairtrade foods. The goal is to get youth engaged in more sustainable behaviors and showcase that small actions can collectively make a difference. Data from the challenge would also help future research. The strategy utilizes social media channels like Facebook, a website and branding to operate the weekly challenges and share statistics on their impact.
The Green Mom Eco-cosm: A Social Study into their Motivations, Convictions an...Wendy Scherer

Topic 1: Popular fad diets vs. Nutrition
Introduction:
As someone who feels constantly unhealthy, I closely follow popular diets in search of a healthier me. I have embarked several diets that left me feeling average at best. For four years I was a vegetarian, vegan for three months, paleo for two months and keto for two months. Each of these diets restricted me from the nutrients I needed, as well as added a layer of problems and complications. They also left me tired, and unable to process things later on when I ended each diet. When I decided to eat meat again after four years, I vividly recall many times where my life was consumed by hovering over a toilet after only a few bites of meat. It greatly impacted my social life, and my doctor warned me that these diets were dangerous to a young adult. After several blood tests, we found that these diets ended up giving more problems than benefits. They found that I was low in important nutrients such as magnesium, potassium, vitamins B12, D, became I became dangerously anemic (low in iron).
Topic Proposal:
My topic is focused on the short/long term effects fad diets and how the youth interprets diets displayed in popular media. Fad diets are diets popularized by the media that typically focus on the elimination of eating certain food groups to achieve weight-loss. However, this leads to a huge impact of nutrition given that restriction of entire food groups can erase one’s intake and even ability to process vital nutrients. The most common diets suggest limiting consumption of carbohydrates, fats or/and over-indulging in foods such as grapefruit. These diets, while promoting something considered positive, weight-loss, also can lead one into serious health problems.
Focus:
I am to focus on the common misconceptions on dieting and weight-loss. I want to uncover the great risks that come with the most popular dieting methods due to the restriction of vital nutrients as well as a solutions that nutritionists actually support. In hopes of finding a solution, I also want to take a look into positive diets promoted in the media, or if there is even a diet that is generally helpful and doable for the general public.
Importance:
While many people seem to focus on the obesity epidemic in the U.S., I want to focus on more plausible dieting solutions that promote long term health and healthy weight loss. The nutrients people deprive themselves of can lead to an even more unhealthy society caused by the lack of education on healthy dieting habits. Many people look to social media to find healthy goals and role models end up greatly damaging their body and could later on effect their children and society at a whole. Students and young adults are most at risk for joining unhealthy diets given that they are on social media the most. If DU and other schools promote healthy relationships with food it would benefit their ability to perform as well as their life and longevity.

The Basics of Project Evaluation for Effective OutreachVegFund
Inspiring consumers to adopt a vegan lifestyle is complicated by many opposing influences. For many people, veganism is a long-term journey. Activists must continue on a steady and prolonged course of interactions with consumers to keep vegan messaging present in consumers’ minds and dietary choices.
This information was presented by Leslie Barcus, Executive Director of VegFund as part of the new Activist Learning Series. This particular webinar addresses why evaluating behavior change is complex and presents ideas about how activists can gain insights into the success of their advocacy efforts.

4. Strategy
#changechallenge is going to be a weekly challenge where
people participate by documenting their experience
through photography. They take a photo of what their
doing, upload it on Instagram, hashtag, and share it.
The challenges will be something that everyone has easy
access to and isn’t hard to fit in their daily lives.

8. Looking Ahead
The main goal here is to get the youths in Australia to
start engaging with issues relating to climate change
and food security, to start a trend of healthy lifestyle and
social change through social media. Through the weekly
challenges, they will be able to see and experience a
healthier, more sustainable and resourceful lifestyle, as
well as realize that it really isn’t too difficult.
The data and information from all the participants can
also be helpful in future research and developments.
