Resilience in water systems means being able to adapt, recover, and thrive through change. I will spend 15 minutes learning how people and communities build water resilience and reflect on how I can apply this knowledge.

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.)

Local and seasonal foods require fewer resources, support nearby farmers, and keep soils healthier through diverse planting. I will source 3 meals per week from local or seasonal producers—such as markets, CSAs, or co-ops—to strengthen community food resilience.

Dishwashers can save water — if used wisely. I will only run the dishwasher when it’s full and skip the pre-rinse to reduce water and energy use. If I don't have a dishwasher, I will turn off the tap as often as possible while washing dishes.
