Find out how self-reliant your oasis already is — and how far it could go without moving

Energy
What you burn, what you buy, and what you'd keep running if the grid went quiet.
Food
How much of what you eat you can trace, grow, preserve or source close to home.

What you use, what you catch, what you reuse, and what happens on a dry year.
Home & Materials
The air you breathe indoors, the heat you hold, and what your house is made of.
Waste & Cycles
Whether what leaves your house is a loss or a return to the soil.
Land & Living Things
The pollinators, roots and soil life sharing your square footage — balcony included.

Every rung is reachable at your scale. A windowsill grower who has climbed everything available to them scores exactly as high as someone on five acres who has done the same. Start where you are — that's the whole idea.
