Olaru's actions
Action Track: Community
Write Letters or Emails
I will gather a group of friends, family, neighbors or colleagues and write 1 letters or emails to public officials or companies to advocate for planet-friendly policies.
Action Track: Community
Plant Trees
Trees capture carbon and produce oxygen that is essential to life on earth. I will support this important piece of nature by organizing or joining a community group to plant 20 native trees in my community, public parks, office location, campus or backyard.
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 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.
Freshwater + Oceans
Reduce Pollutants in Cleaning
Understanding cleaning product ingredients and their effect on water and biodiversity is helpful to our consumer choices. I will spend 5 minutes learning about how cleaning products affect our water and try making my own cleaning products to reduce pollutants.
Freshwater + Oceans
Cooking Oil Disposal
Pouring cooking oil down the drain can cause damage to waterways and ecosystems. I will learn how to properly dispose of cooking oil to help support healthy ecosystems.
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.

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.

REFLECTION QUESTIONFreshwater + Oceans Join a Cleanup EffortHow does working with others to clean up your community make you feel? What results did you see? Please consider posting a photo of your cleanup!
Olaru Ciprian 4/29/2024 12:49 AMFeels like this will never be solved... just more stuff covered by dirt ,mud and grass. Probably archeologist from very distant the future will recognize the year based on the products and packaging found. Will be called the barbarians from the plastic era :), homo erectus plasticus ...-

REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Community ATTEND THE ECOCHALLENGE CONSERVATION WEBINARWhat did you learn in the webinar? Did anything surprise you?
Olaru Ciprian 4/24/2024 8:22 AMSo many species ! Hopefully the undiscovered ones are enough to compensate for the ones we make extinct as we are very good at that. Especially insects and big mammals , carnivores are not appreciated near human communities. I see a lot of discussions about bears in Romania who are getting closer to communities and one interesting argument is that people want diversity but not near them. So people living near very rich and diverse areas say is easy for people living in scarce areas to appreciate all the species. And usually yes I see that the experts are from countries that have lost a lot of species and they now advocate for conservation in countries where development is ongoing. Maybe this is how we are , we can appreciate and find ways to coexist only after the diversity is gone... -

A job well done in a hard soil... Hopefully a few of them will reach adulthood. The next day I visited a place where we planted one or two years ago at Floresti Cetatea Fetei. Lots of plants , diversity but hard to recognize the planted trees... Maybe instead of going every year to a new location we can come back to older ones and replant , clean around the trees and give them more chances to survive.-
Emese Macavei 4/15/2024 1:10 PMAgree! You’re right. -
Laura Sumlea 4/15/2024 4:06 AMThis is also a good idea.

Olaru Ciprian 4/10/2024 6:11 AMPentru o cauza eco in Cluj-napoca, puteti trimite un email scurt la adresa consultarepublica@primariaclujnapoca.ro legat de aprobarea PUZ Carbochim Iulius care doreste derogare de la 30% spatiu verde pe sol la 7% ceea ce reduce mult chiar si din fasia de langa rau de nici nu mai este loc de pista de biciclete...
Cel mai mult spatiu verde va fi deasupra unei parcari imense.
Daca va fi presiunepublica poate mai creste spatiul verde de care sa ne bucuram cu totii... Daca nu il cumparam din mall ...

Olaru Ciprian 4/10/2024 11:16 PMSi sa nu uitam ca primele versiuni propuse la actualul Iulius Mall din zona lacurilor propuneau caldiri pana la mal si chiar secarea unuia din lacuri pentru a construi. Si datorita presiunii publice a catorva oameni de atunci ne putem bucura de un compromis mai rezonabil si pentru acces in acea zona fara a fi cumparator, doar pentru o plimbare pe malul unui lac. -
Olaru Ciprian 4/10/2024 9:42 AMPana in 15 aprilie -
Olaru Ciprian 4/10/2024 6:14 AMSi poate putem preciza sa se faca mai mult si la reamenajare sa nu ajunga la fel de goal ca si malul opus din Armatura ...

Olaru Ciprian 4/04/2024 1:34 AM" the impacts of animal products can markedly exceed those of vegetable substitutes (Fig. 1), to such a degree that meat, aquaculture, eggs, and dairy use ~83% of the world’s farmland and contribute 56 to 58% of food’s different emissions, despite providing only 37% of our protein and 18% of our calories "

REFLECTION QUESTIONFreshwater + Oceans Use a Reusable Water BottleWhat did you learn about the amount of plastic we consume and what actions will you take to reduce your use of plastic?
Olaru Ciprian 4/01/2024 8:33 AMNowadays is almost everywhere due to excessive packaging , half of it is very easy to avoid especially for water. Bottled water should be restricted to some very specific use cases where none of the alternatives would work.
I really hope this year tree planting activities would be without 0.5l bottled water. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFreshwater + Oceans Cooking Oil DisposalDid anything about this action surprise you? Do you use more or less oil than you thought?
Olaru Ciprian 4/01/2024 8:13 AMI'm always surprised to find out people use liters of oil that later they need to dispose... I use maybe a liter of oil in an entire year, oil that I eat in my food and don't have to dispose. Sometimes we have to find solutions for problems we can avoid easily ...-
Olaru Ciprian 4/02/2024 5:27 AMIt can be done if the cooking is done without frying in oil.... the only oil is in salads and some in food that is eaten so no disposal necessary even if it is more then 1l. -
Alina Mican 4/01/2024 11:16 AMHow is that possible? What I have to do for using 1 liter of oil in 1 year? I never succeed in this but succeed to reduce to 1 liter/4 months.
