Land + Forests
WORKSHOP HIDROPONIA
Participarei do Workshop sobre Hidroponia, confeccionada com materiais reutilizados.
Action Track: Community
Keep My Community Clean
At times it may not feel like it's up to us to keep our community clean and healthy, but we all have a role to play. Each day I am outside, I will pick up any litter I see.
Biodiversity + Wildlife
USE SACOLAS REUTILIZÁVEIS
Os sacos plásticos podem ser confundidos com comida por muitos animais selvagens e podem acabar em habitats que prejudicam a vida selvagem. Não aceitarei sacolas descartáveis na realização de compras ao menos 1 vez neste mês.
Biodiversity + Wildlife
COMPARTILHE SEUS HÁBITOS SUSTENTÁVEIS
Através do meu feed Ecochallenge do Mês da Terra, compartilharei com outras pessoas um hábito ecologicamente correto que cultivei.
Climate + Air
NENHUM VEÍCULO POR 1 DIA
Ficarei 24 horas sem utilizar veículos à combustão e reduzirei a emissão de CO2
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.
Land + Forests
DESPERDÍCIO ZERO
Farei pelo menos 1 refeição por dia sem desperdício.
Land + Forests
Borrow Before I Buy
Why buy something I will only use once or a few times if someone nearby has it for me to borrow, and why not share something I have that someone may only need a few times a year? To reduce my consumption and waste, I will create or support the sharing economy with friends, family, colleagues or neighbors.
Freshwater + Oceans
BANHOS DE 5 MINUTOS OU MENOS
Economizarei até 23 L de água por dia tomando banhos de 5 minutos. Dica: Use um cronômetro para praticar ou conte até 60 algumas vezes.
Freshwater + Oceans
Óleo no Esgoto NÃO!
Farei a coleta de no mínimo 500 ml de óleo de cozinha utilizado em minha casa, familiares e/ou amigos e trarei para Emerson para o descarte correto.
Freshwater + Oceans
Use a Reusable Water Bottle
Itr's estimated over a billion water bottles are thrown away each year. Even if they were recycled, that still uses energy and resources from the earth. I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.
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.
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
TAKE PICTURES AND SHARE ON LINKEDIN
I will take at least one photograph that is connected with this year's theme of Nature Conservation & Biodiversity (for example an urban park, bee hives, birds and other animals...) and I will post it on LinkedIn with the hashtags #EarthMonthEcochallenge #EarthMonthAtEmerson.
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.

Install a low-flow showerhead. It may cost you some money up front, but your water conservation efforts will save you money down the road. Conventional showerheads flow at 5 gallons per minute or more, whereas low-flow showerheads typically flow at 2.5 gallons per minute (or less!). -
REFLECTION QUESTIONLand + Forests WORKSHOP HIDROPONIAO que você aprendeu com os Jovens do Pescar sobre o Projeto Hidroponia?
Rafael Boldori 4/26/2024 4:04 AMThere are two main variations for each medium: sub-irrigation and top irrigation. For all techniques, most hydroponic reservoirs are now built of plastic, but other materials have been used, including concrete, glass, metal, vegetable solids, and wood. The containers should exclude light to prevent algae and fungal growth in the hydroponic medium. -

Think About Air Drying
The clothes dryer is one of the largest energy users in the home, often consuming as much as a new refrigerator, dishwasher, and clothes washer combined. Old-school clotheslines and the sunkissed, breeze-dried clothes they deliver may not be an option for everyone, but there are some really nifty drying racks, including collapsible ones for small spaces, that are definitely worth taking a look at. (That said, if you can string up a clothesline, all the better!)

Check for Leaky Faucets
Do a quick survey of your faucets and make sure that none are leaking. A leaky faucet dripping at the rate of one drip per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons per year. Most leaks are often easy to repair, requiring just a few tools and some hardware. (Also, remember that a running toilet can waste up to 200 gallons of water each day.)

Resist Double-Spaces Between Sentences
In the olden days of actual typewriters, people learned to use two spaces after a period, as a single space didn't make quite enough room. A lot of people still swear by double spaces, and it has been shown to make written passages easier to read. However, we crunched the numbers and found that the extra spaces, in a printed book, for example, really add up. Consider all of the books published in the U.S. for a year: With an average of 5,294 extra spaces per book, it results in over a quarter of a billion extra pages, 26,471 trees, and about 163 acres of forest, eaten up just for that extra space between each sentence.

Rafael Boldori 4/05/2024 5:59 AMBy Bryanna Lewis, Oregon State University ’25Want to try some new ways to green your life and the planet? The Earth Month Ecochallenge provides lots of ideas for environmental and social engagement for the entire month of April. Select actions that resonate with your values and commit to them for 30 days in order to foster and reinforce positive habits while generating real-world impact. Choose your actions from categories such as Fresh Water & Oceans, Land & Forests, Climate & Air, Wildlife & Biodiversity, and Community.
“This year’s theme, Conserving Every Ecosystem, Caring for Every Creature, highlights the intersection of conservation and behavior change. By focusing on daily actions and continuous learning, we aim to create a sustainable and just world, not just for humans but for all species and ecosystems we rely on,” according to Ecochallenge.org. You can choose to sign up for the Ecochallenge, but we chosen not to promote that because there is currently not an opt out available to avoid cookies, tracking and advertising (they’ve told us it’s in the works).

Skip Meat and Cheese for a Day
OK, vegans get an easy day—for the rest of you, today you get to skip meat and cheese and opt for other proteins instead. We know you can do it! And why would you want to? If everyone in the United States skipped meat and cheese for one day a week, it would be like taking 7.6 million cars off the road—or not driving 91 billion miles.

Rafael Boldori 4/01/2024 5:40 AMWe are just starting a month of much reflection and exchange of ideas. Good ecochallenge to everyone. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Community ATTEND THE ECOCHALLENGE CONSERVATION WEBINARWhat did you learn in the webinar? Did anything surprise you?
