Conserving water helps protect this precious resource. I will shorten my showers to 5 minutes to save water and reduce energy use - each time saving up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water!

Sharing surplus food not only prevents waste but also strengthens social safety nets. I will donate or share 3 meals or food items through a food bank, community fridge, or with neighbors to support food security and resilience.

Purchasing choices can strengthen community resilience. I will direct 3 of my organization’s purchases or events toward local or minority-owned businesses, helping build diverse and resilient economies.

Too much artificial light can confuse and harm animals, especially those active at night. I will reduce sources of outdoor light or switch to wildlife-friendly fixtures to support healthy habitats.
