Michelle LaBrosse

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 spend 30 minutes learning about equitable food access and how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

I will use the communication methods I read about to practice effective, compassionate, and nonviolent communication with someone I interact with regularly (i.e., my roommate, parents, co-worker, partner, classmates, or children).

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

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

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

I will enjoy 6 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will spend 10 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

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