Missions on NatureChallenge.com turn a daily habit into a counted result. This page is the running total.

Impact ledger

What players on NatureChallenge.com have actually done. Every check-in and approved proof adds one line. The math behind each number is shown on the card, with its source.

Missions

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 or Sponsor a Tree

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.

Shoreline or Street Cleanup

Spend an hour clearing litter from a beach, riverbank, park or your own street. Post a photo link or a short note with the spot and roughly how much you collected.

+4 kg waste when approved

One full standard trash bag of mixed litter weighs about 4 to 6 kg (Ocean Conservancy International Coastal Cleanup averages). We count 4 per approved cleanup.

Tools that feed these missions

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.
