I will read the article "Improving Water Conservation Through an Equity Lens" on WSP Insights.

I will pledge to go vegetarian or vegan for a week with support from Julie Sinistore for this week with resources. The goal of this action is to reduce the environmental and social impacts of food choices and gain awareness about these impacts. If you would like to participate, please email julie.sinistore@wsp.com The pledge will run the week of April 25th and will feature a presentation by Julie about the environmental and social impacts of food on April 27th, at 1pm Pacific/4pm Eastern.

WSP has signed the Structural Engineering Institute 2050 Commitment (SE 2050) to reduce embodied carbon in structural systems. Read WSP's newly published embodied carbon action plan (ECAP).

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how lifestyle changes could reduce the carbon footprint and impacts on the environment.

I will mend a piece of clothing for myself, family or friends.

During the workday, I will schedule time for daily rest during work days to practice work-life balance.

For an upcoming vacation, I will plan a staycation in my region.

I will do one or more of the following actions in my yard, or volunteer in my community: plant indigenous plants, landscape with water-efficient plants, add mulching, replace a lawn, and/or use eco-friendly fertilizers.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 20 minutes researching which plants support local pollinators and plant some in my area.

Throughout the day, I will note the single-use plastics I use and consider the reusable options available to me.

I'm going to save used water from things like boiling eggs or beets, rinsing rice, etc. and will use it to water my indoor plants.

Each day, I will engage in a sharing economy among my family, friends, and neighbors.

I will visit ewg.org to learn about and use their Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen produce lists.
