Local and seasonal foods require fewer resources, support nearby farmers, and keep soils healthier through diverse planting. I will source 7 meals per week from local or seasonal producers—such as markets, CSAs, or co-ops—to strengthen community food resilience.

Waste reduction supports both ecological and organizational resilience. I will work with others to conduct a waste audit and reduce waste in my organization, such as paper, plastics, or energy use.

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.

Trees are vital for resilience, storing carbon, sheltering biodiversity, and protecting water and soil. I will plant 1 trees in my yard, community, or through a local project to help ecosystems adapt and thrive.
