Some species are especially important because they help keep whole ecosystems in balance. I will spend 5 minutes learning about a keystone species near me and how it supports biodiversity and resilience.

Being prepared can save lives during extreme weather. I will spend 10 minutes learning about the most common weather risks in my area and the steps I can take to stay safe, such as signing up for local alerts or identifying nearby shelters.

Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 30 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.

Extreme weather events like hurricanes, wildfires, and floods can disrupt lives and upend our communities. I will take proactive steps to prepare for extreme weather by safeguarding my home and creating or updating an emergency plan and kit with essential supplies, evacuation routes, and contact information.

Healthy waterways are essential for resilience. I will volunteer for 1 hours to clean or protect local rivers, lakes, wetlands, or coastal areas to support ecosystems and communities.
