I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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.

I will spend 10 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about where my energy comes from.

Indigenous plants or native plants are those that originated in a given geographic area without human involvement or that arrived there without intentional or unintentional intervention of humans from an area in which they originally originated. Native/Indigenous plants and grasses have adapted to the soil in which they grow and usually use less water compared to non-native plants. When your entire garden is native plants, large water savings can be achieved annually.

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.
