You'll be an Earth Month Ecochallenge 2026 expert in no time!
Some species are especially important because they help keep whole ecosystems in balance. I will spend 30 minutes learning about a keystone species near me and how it supports biodiversity and resilience.
Wildlife corridors allow animals to move safely between habitats. I will spend 20 minutes learning how corridors support resilience and, if possible, identify one in my region.
Native plants provide food and shelter for local wildlife and help ecosystems adapt to change. I will choose native plants for my yard, balcony, or community space instead of non-native or ornamental species to support biodiversity resilience.
Log your Ecochallenge-related Volunteer Hour in Good Works. If using VTO, please also request time in Workday. Email Anjelica if you have questions ([email protected]). P.S. In celebration of Arch's 25th anniversary, employees that record at least 7.5 volunteer hours will earn a $25 incentive to support the community.
Eating a wide variety of colorful fruits and vegetables is a simple way to boost our personal health and support a more resilient food system. I will prepare and enjoy 4 servings of fruits and vegetables each day.
Local and seasonal foods require fewer resources, support nearby farmers, and keep soils healthier through diverse planting. I will source 2 meals per week from local or seasonal producers—such as markets, CSAs, or co-ops—to strengthen community food resilience.
Shared projects at work strengthen teams and build organizational resilience. I will host or join 3 cleanup events with colleagues, classmates, or group members to improve our environment and strengthen collaboration.
Trees are vital for resilience, storing carbon, sheltering biodiversity, and protecting water and soil. I will plant 2 trees in my yard, community, or through a local project to help ecosystems adapt and thrive.
