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

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers. Tip: Use a timer to practice or count to 60 a few times.

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

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

I will spend 10 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

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

In my community, I will volunteer at a community shelter, food pantry or soup kitchen.

Through my social media channels, in person, or as an Earth Month Ecochallenge feed reflection, I will share with others an environmentally friendly habit I have cultivated.

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 spend 15 minutes learning about these SDGs.
