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

Throughout the day I will track my purchases and then research the companies making these goods.

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.

Each day, I will spend 5 minutes learning about nonprofit organizations that focuses on sustainable consumption and production patterns so that I could participate in their activities.

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

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

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

Participate in the action of cleaning the waste on the riverbanks of the Someș near the Emerson campus, To free our rivers and riverbanks of waste with helping hands!

Keep the meatless Friday on 15'th of April eather in the canteen or at home.

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.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about my watershed and the particular water issues my region faces.

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.
