Day one
"Unity/Umoja To
strive daily to engage in practices which build bonds of affection and
attachment to our family members, our school teachers, and our neighbors
Perspective on Unity
Promoting the unity of the human family is the task of the whole
family. Unity is action on behalf of the family, calling us to help
overcome the divisions among family members, and to strengthen the ties
that define and bind us as family members. Unity is the spiritual and
social gravity which pulls the family together- husband and wife, parent
and children, and family and neighbor. At its core, the principle unity
is about attachment- attachment to each others and most importantly to
the values which define us as family, as community and as a people. On
Unity Day, the family celebrates its togetherness (ingathering), the
achievements of family members (the harvest concept of Kwanzaa)."

What have you done today to lower your impact?
We are washing away the foundations of our existence on every front. It is high time we move from crashing about on the planet like a bull in china shop and find a way to go forward with intent. We must find systems of living based on sustainability. The systems and tools exist, it is up to each of us to adopt them.
