Stories connect and inspire us. I will share 1 resilience stories—either from my life, my community, or from a leader or culture I admire—through conversations, social media, or the event feed to help others see resilience in action.

Sharing builds common understanding. I will share 1 definitions of resilience that resonate with me—through conversations, social media, or the event feed—to help others explore what resilience means.

I’ll take a short pre-survey to share what motivated me to join — and earn 15 points! (If I already took the survey by email, I’ll just mark this action complete to get my points.)

Healthy soils and resilient food systems depend on how we grow food. I will spend 60 minutes learning about farming practices such as regenerative agriculture, agroecology, or permaculture, and reflect on how they support both people and the planet.

Bees and other pollinators are vital to ecosystems and agriculture. I will spend 60 minutes learning how to support local pollinators and take at least one action—such as planting native flowers or avoiding pesticides—to help sustain resilient ecosystems and harvests.

Donate shoes at MCI’s shoe recycling event to support local reuse and responsible recycling. Footwear in any condition is accepted. Reusable shoes will be cleaned and distributed to people in need, and shoes that can’t be reused will be recycled into materials such as playground mulch. (See HR email for details.) If you’re not at MCI, consider doing a spring cleaning of your closet and dropping off gently used clothing for donation.

Working together builds resilience and pride in the places we care about. I will participate in 1 community projects such as a cleanup or local beautification project that strengthens connections and shared purpose.
