Kim's actions
Action Track: Community
Join a Cleanup Effort
I will organize or participate in a trash pickup at a local river, beach, or natural body of water.
Freshwater + Oceans
Dishwasher Efficiency
Hand washing dishes can use more energy and hot water than a dishwasher. To save water, I will use a dishwasher and scrape, rather than rinse, dishes before loading them into the dishwasher.
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.
Climate + Air
Consume only Needs vs Wants
The more stuff we consume, the more greenhouse gasses we put into the atmosphere. I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach this month and only buy things I need.
Climate + Air
Declutter My Home Without the Landfill
Each day, I will learn about responsible ways to dispose of items and de-clutter, clean, donate, repurpose or recycle unneeded items in my home to make sure that what I get rid of doesn't go into the landfill.
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 1 native trees in my community, public parks, office location, campus or backyard.
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.

Kim Johnston 4/26/2024 12:53 PMEmerson and NI employees got together for a clean up event this morning. Met a lot of hard working people. Lost track of how many shopping carts were discovered. Felt good to leave the park nicer than the way we found it. Good work everyone!-
Bonnie Johnson 4/28/2024 4:31 PMThanks to all the volunteers who participated in the Walnut Creek Park cleanup. As Kim mentioned, what surprised us was the 15 shopping carts we pulled out of the creek! -

Kim Johnston 4/25/2024 11:22 AMNot the best picture, so I'll explain. This is a bird nest on top of a light fixture. Pretty clever location - protected from wind, rain, predators. Enjoyed by employees entering the building, if they even notice it.-
Bonnie Johnson 4/25/2024 8:00 PMWow! I will have to look for this nest, thanks for letting us know! -
Darcy Hoag 4/25/2024 2:20 PMhow nice that they felt comfortable making a nest up there

Bonnie Johnson 4/25/2024 7:59 PMThank you SO much Kim for making the E-Waste recycle event successful! I am looking forward to the final weight, but I think we recycled more than last year! Thanks again for your help in making this happen!
