Carbon Footprint Reduction:  Projects involve a range of activities, from reducing energy consumption and promoting sustainable transportation to community-based initiatives focused on conservation and waste reduction. 

Carbon Sequestration: Projects focus on capture and storage of atmospheric carbon through biomass or other methods. Stewardship activities may include planting trees or other vegetation, restoring wetlands or riparian habitats, improving soil health or biodiversity, etc.

Community Resilience: Projects that enhance a community’s ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from environmental hazards such as flooding, drought, and heat island effects. Stewardship activities may include the installation of permeable pavers, stormwater recapture systems like rain barrels, shoreline stabilization or increasing access to cooling or shade via green infrastructure in order to make communities more resilient to weather and climate changes. 

Habitat Conservation and Restoration: Projects work to care for human communities and local, native habitats. Stewardship activities may include, but are not limited to, removing invasive vegetation, planting native flora, construction or installation of restoration infrastructure (reef balls or other structures), as well as nature-based solutions that make human communities more resilient to the impacts of flooding, drought, heat island effects, or other environmental challenges.

Marine Debris and Waste Reduction: Projects may remove trash or litter from the environment, prevent marine debris or litter from entering the environment by reducing the use of plastic materials in the community, divert food or other waste from landfills through composting or other methods, or increase the adoption of recycling, composting, etc.
