100 Acts of Kindness to the Environment
A Global Movement for Nature, Science, and Creativity
🌍 The Movement
The environment is part of who we are — yet many people feel disconnected from nature and unsure how to help. Climate change, pollution, and ecosystem loss can feel overwhelming, but small, consistent actions truly add up.
100 Acts of Kindness to the Environment is an invitation to take 100 meaningful steps for our planet. Through simple, everyday acts — powered by citizen science — participants help restore ecosystems, collect valuable environmental data, and tell a new story of stewardship through creativity and community.
This is more than a challenge.
It’s action with purpose.
Creativity with impact.
And a global movement rooted in hope.

Every movement begins with a single step.

2. Choose Your Acts of Kindness
Powered by Citizen Science
Every act in this project contributes to real environmental research. We partner with SciStarter-supported citizen science apps, which allow your everyday actions to become data scientists can use to protect ecosystems worldwide.
How it works:
- Create a free account on SciStarter
- Download one or more partner apps to your phone or tablet (Apple App Store or Google Play)
- Connect those apps to your SciStarter dashboard so your actions count toward the 100 Acts of Kindness project
Acts of Kindness Categories:
🌿 Trees & Mangroves
Observe, care for, or plant trees and mangroves
Acts can include planting a new tree or mangrove, caring for existing ones, or simply observing and documenting trees in your neighborhood, school, or natural areas. This might look like watering young trees, checking on growth, identifying species, or monitoring coastal mangroves.
Why it matters: Absorbs carbon, prevents erosion, and creates habitat.
Log your impact with:
🚮 Litter Cleanup
Remove trash from natural and community spaces
Pick up litter wherever you see it — on beaches, along roadsides, in parks, schoolyards, waterways, or your own neighborhood. Acts can be as small as collecting a few items during a walk or as large as organizing a group cleanup.
As you collect trash, record what you find (plastic bottles, food wrappers, fishing line, cans, etc.) so researchers can better understand pollution patterns.
Why it matters: Protects wildlife and keeps plastics out of waterways.
Log your impact with:
♻️ Recycling & Waste Reduction
Reduce waste before it reaches landfills or the ocean
Acts can include sorting and recycling plastic, glass, or cans; collecting recyclables during cleanups; or reducing waste at home, school, or events. Before recycling or repurposing, log the items you’ve collected so they count toward your impact.
You can also use this category for acts like helping others recycle properly or tracking waste you’ve diverted from the trash.
Why it matters: Keeps materials out of landfills and reduces pollution.
Log your impact with:
Track collected or sorted items in Litter Journal or Marine Debris Tracker before recycling.
