I will read the article "Improving Water Conservation Through an Equity Lens" on WSP Insights.

I will spend 20 minutes learning about induction cooking and consider if I could add this to my food prep methods.

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

I will spend 30 minutes learning about these SDGs.

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

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.
