Resilience is an everyday magic in all of us. I will spend 5 minutes learning about resilience and psychologist Ann Masten’s concept of “ordinary magic,” which shows how people adapt and thrive through small, daily strengths.

Being prepared can save lives during emergency situations. I will tour my Donaldson facility to identify where the AED/Emergency Kits are located.

Healthy soils and resilient food systems depend on how we grow food. I will spend 30 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 50 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.

Reducing energy use is the foundation of Donaldson’s decarbonization strategy. I will watch the video on this link to learn about energy efficiency opportunities and examples across our sites and submit a reflection through the reflection form in the Sharepoint link

Indigenous communities around the world steward resilient food systems. I will spend 40 minutes learning about Indigenous food practices and food sovereignty, and reflect on lessons I can honor and apply.

Communities can adapt to challenges and grow stronger together. I will spend 25 minutes learning about how communities prepare for and respond to change, and how collective action builds resilience.

Resilience is all around us in the natural world. I will spend 25 minutes outdoors looking for examples of resilience—such as plants regrowing, animals adapting, or seasonal cycles—and reflect on what they teach about thriving through change.

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.

Fix-It Clinics offer free, guided assistance from volunteers with repair skills to disassemble, troubleshoot, and fix small household appliances, clothing, electronics, mobile devices and more. Attend as a repair volunteer or bring something to repair to a Fix-it clinic across Minnesota during April or to one of the permanent Fix-it hubs in the Twin Cities metro.
