Alexandra Cattelin

I will participate in Earth Week by attending at least one of the global Emerson Earth Day Live Panel discussions during Earth Week on 19th and 20th April, listening to the special Planet in Focus podcast episode, or completing an EcoChallenge action.

I will engage with the content available on the Emerson Environmental Sustainability Hub by doing one of the following: watch a webinar recording, read a blogpost, read one of the newsletters.

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

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

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

I will complete the first module of the Emerson Environmental Sustainability training program available on the Global Learning Center.

Each day, I will spend 5 minutes learning about sustainable fashion so that I can engage in this practice.

I will spend 5 minutes each day studying the toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies, personal care, and pet products around my home.

I will replace 10 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside exercising, enjoying the sunrise/sunset, gardening, journaling, or practicing gratitude for nature.

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

Emerson Twin Cities will recruit Green Team and other employees to spend time outdoors safely removing trash and debris from our Emerson properties.

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

Emerson Twin Cities is hosting a local webinar to explain how to cut your transportation footprint; specifically with your commuting choices. Attend on Tuesday Apr 26, and complete this action! See the posters in your area for how to attend.
