I have to recognise it was difficult in the days during which it was raining, snowing, windy, cold... and there were a lot in April this year in my region !!!

Corinne's actions
Land + Forests
Explore My Area
When we explore natural spaces around us, our connections with them change. I will spend 1 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood, office, or campus (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).
Action Track: Community
JOIN OR CREATE A GREEN TEAM AT EMERSON
I will continue to contribute to Emerson's environmental sustainability goals beyond April by learning more about the Global Green Teams Network, joining a team near me, or maybe even creating a new team.
Action Track: Community
SIGN UP TO RECEIVE NEWS ON SUSTAINABILITY AT EMERSON
I will sign up to the Sustainability Aficionados distribution list to receive global news on sustainability at Emerson, including world news and Greening OF, BY, and WITH news.
Action Track: Community
ATTEND THE ECOCHALLENGE CONSERVATION WEBINAR
On Wed 24th April, I will attend the Earth Month Ecochallenge Webinar on Conservation to learn about what individuals, companies and other organizations can do to promote biodiversity and nature protection.
Biodiversity + Wildlife
Reduce Animal Products
One kilogram of beef and cheese emits 71kg and 24kg of greenhouse gasses, while 1kg of rice, grains, and legumes emits between 2-4kg. Fruits, vegetables, and nuts emit less than 1kg per 1kg. I will reduce my climate impact by enjoying 1 meatless meals and/or 0 vegan meals each day this week.
Land + Forests
30 for 30 in Nature
Studies have shown that when we spend consistent time in nature, our health improves, our creativity increases, and our connection to the planet gets stronger. Each day of the Ecochallenge, I will spend 30 minutes outside (in a large or small patch of nature), then share my observations, reflections, and learnings on the feed.
Climate + Air
Online Energy Audit
Energy use and waste is often invisible. I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.
Climate + Air
Calculate My Carbon Impact
Carbon emissions can show up in many surprising ways in our life. 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.
Freshwater + Oceans
Understand My Water Footprint
Each of us has a water footprint, directly linked to our daily activities as well as the water required in the production of things we use each day. Understanding our water use is important for a healthy planet. I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste, then share what I learned on the feed.
Participant Feed
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?

REFLECTION QUESTIONLand + Forests 30 for 30 in NatureWhat have you noticed about how it feels to spend consistent time outside?
Corinne Aubert-Coan 4/25/2024 4:51 AMIt was relaxing on sunny days, walking in nature, listening to silence.
I have to recognise it was difficult in the days during which it was raining, snowing, windy, cold... and there were a lot in April this year in my region !!!-

REFLECTION QUESTIONBiodiversity + Wildlife Reduce Animal ProductsHow does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?
Corinne Aubert-Coan 4/25/2024 4:49 AMI9 know it at least affects my husband who is vegetarian. He liked the taste of meat and remains sometimes tempted but he made the choice to become vegetarian to avoid animals pains and he sticks to it !!! -
Corinne Aubert-Coan 4/23/2024 1:48 AMSnowing again today... and very cold and windy. I have difficulties to find motivation to go outside. I hope the snow will stop later today and I will be able to go outside for a walk... -
REFLECTION QUESTIONClimate + Air Calculate My Carbon ImpactWhere in your life do you emit the most carbon? What change are you willing to make in your daily life to reduce this output?
Corinne Aubert-Coan 4/23/2024 1:45 AMI am surprised to see that depending on the caluculator, the results are different... This year questions are less detailed than last year and my performance is not as good.
My main impact remains on daily travels as I leave in the country side. We made the decision last year to switch our 2 diesel cars to one full electric and one hybrid and I am frustrated to see it does improve. What could I do more ? -

It seems there is more snow in April than in February this year... and small people continue to say that climate does not change !!!-
