Local missions are things you can do where you live — in Columbus that means your own street, shoreline or school. Global missions add up across every arena on the network.

Plant a native tree where it can survive, or sponsor one through a verified planting program. Post the species, the place and a photo or receipt link.
+1 trees when approved
One tree. We count trees planted or protected, not carbon, because a sapling's CO₂ uptake depends on survival, species and decades of time.

Keep food scraps out of the bin for three weeks: a backyard pile, a worm bin, or your city's green cart. Check in daily.
+0.25 kg waste per check-in
Americans waste about 0.27 kg of food per person per day (EPA). Composting it keeps that out of landfill, where it would release methane.

How we count, and what we don't claim
Check-ins are self-reported and shown as logged. Proof missions are reviewed by a person before they count as verified. Each per-action figure is a conservative public estimate (EPA, IEA, UN Environment or peer-reviewed sources named on the card), rounded down. These numbers are for keeping score and staying honest, not for carbon accounting or offsets. If you think a figure is wrong, say so on the contact form and we will fix it in public.
