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.)

Regular health check-ups help prevent problems before they start. I will schedule or attend a medical, dental, or mental health check-up to take care of my well-being.

Composting turns waste into a resource, building soil health and cutting methane emissions from landfills. I will compost food scraps at home, school, or in my community, which avoids sending up to 0.42 lbs (0.19 kg) of food waste to the landfill per day.

Biodiversity hotspots are places with many unique species that are also at risk. I will spend 15 minutes learning about one hotspot and reflect on why protecting it matters for resilience.

Wildlife corridors allow animals to move safely between habitats. I will spend 15 minutes learning how corridors support resilience and, if possible, identify one in my region.

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.
