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 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 replace 30 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.

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

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.

Each day, I will spend 15 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

I will spend 25 minutes learning about invasive species and ways to reduce their impacts.

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

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 learning about where my energy comes from.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about induction cooking and consider if I could add this to my food prep methods.

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero waste each day.

I will develop a readiness plan for my household in the event of an emergency.

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