Creating and actually practicing a work life balance is important also for your mental health and help reduce the burn out feeling that can be created by trying to "squeeze" it all in.

Mischa Hartke 4/28/2022 7:24 AM"We are all - across the globe - in the same watershed". Provocative thought (fact) and how we can't only think of water as a local issue alone. In AZ, where I grew up, water scarcity is often more visible (yet maybe ignored largely), but I think it is far less visible here in MN, as we don't see quality as a scarcity issue? If low quality - then really scarce availability for our drinking, and possibly other needs. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONBasic Needs & SecurityWhat is one way you will reduce your water use? What is a practice you already have that helps you reduce your water use?
Laura Chemler 4/27/2022 11:13 AMThe virtual water usage really surprised me - especially the impact of pet food. We have low flow toilets and low flow shower heads, but not low flow sinks so that's an opportunity for improvement in our home. Same goes for how many dishes I do by hand and then I put them in the dishwasher - there's an opportunity there to reduce how much redundant water I'm using. Luckily my sustainability habits around my diet and recycling help balance out my water footprint, making it lower than the national average. -

Chris Kasic 4/22/2022 8:19 AMWe are all here on so called "Earth Day" thanks to the actions of many, including John McConnell, Morton Hilbert, Gaylord Nelson, and Denis Hayes. No doubt many others worldwide. Not your average household names or enshrined in fame, but look at what they wrought! Do likewise. -
Alexandra Cattelin 4/22/2022 5:58 AMHappy Earth Day everyone! At the EP facility yesterday, we had our second ground cleaning over lunch. We all had a great time and the weather was beautiful! -
Chris Kasic 4/21/2022 12:43 PMEmerson Earth Week Cleanup in Eden Prairie was a success: 17 volunteers over two days collected 17 bags of trash. Bringin' the Eden back to Eden Prairie Minnesota! Time to log in to ecochallenge and complete those actions. We are still trailing Chanhassen and Shakopee!-
