Greywater—or lightly used household water—can sometimes be reused for tasks like watering plants or cleaning. I will learn about safe and practical ways to recycle greywater at home, school, or work.

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.

Communities can adapt to challenges and grow stronger together. I will spend 30 minutes learning about how communities prepare for and respond to change, and how collective action builds resilience.

Diversity builds strength in ecosystems. I will spend 20 minutes learning how biodiversity helps nature adapt to change and maintain balance.

Extreme weather events like hurricanes, wildfires, and floods can disrupt lives and upend our communities. I will take proactive steps to prepare for extreme weather by safeguarding my home and creating or updating an emergency plan and kit with essential supplies, evacuation routes, and contact information.

Indigenous communities around the world steward resilient food systems. I will spend 20 minutes learning about Indigenous food practices and food sovereignty, and reflect on lessons I can honor and apply.

Green teams strengthen resilience by creating shared responsibility. I will join or help start a green team in my workplace, school, or community group to support sustainability and collaboration.
