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?

Corinne Aubert-Coan 4/30/2024 5:58 AMIt is with mixed feelings that I am writing my last post on the feed for this year. I am of course happy and proud about the achievements of the team. I am as well sad to close this event during which we encouraged each other to change habits and put more attention on conservation.
Let's team up next year for another challenge...-

REFLECTION QUESTIONLand + Forests Explore My AreaWhere did you go for your walk or hike in nature? What were the benefits of doing so?
Corinne Aubert-Coan 4/29/2024 2:46 AMThere are mainy walking options in my region... i am discovering new ones on a regular basis. Each time I discover new landscapes, views... and sometimes meet some wild animals which is something I really enjoy-
IULIA CADAR 4/29/2024 11:23 AMIn our area sometimes we receive “alerts “ that 🐻 bears are in the town. But we consider that this is not ok, because that means that they don’t have to eat anymore in the woods and they are coming down the hills to find more food. Or even wars, humans are expending too much and we already are like un introducers into their environment. We need to pay attention which is the fine line between wild and domestic!

REFLECTION QUESTIONFreshwater + Oceans Understand My Water FootprintWhat did you learn about your water footprint and what are you going to do to reduce and be aware of the water you use?
Corinne Aubert-Coan 4/29/2024 2:44 AMFisrt I confirmed that I am better than the US average... which is not a surprise ! BTW I am frustrated that I had to chose a US state to assess the electricity impact on water usage.
Similar to last year, I need to pay more attention to indirect use of water and maybe reduce a bit my focus on hygiene... not sure I am ready for this last point ! -
Corinne Aubert-Coan 4/28/2024 12:00 PM2 more days remaining ! Do not forget to finalise your actions and reflection questions ! -
Corinne Aubert-Coan 4/27/2024 12:01 PMFirst day without rain for a while... We finally could spend some time walking around !!! -
Corinne Aubert-Coan 4/25/2024 4:55 AMHey colleagues !
5 days to go and the 2024 ecochallenge will be over. Let's focus on our remaining actions and reflection questions in order to make a positive impact on the planet !!!-
Vincent Esmenjaud 4/25/2024 11:16 AMThank you for the reminder Corinne 😊! We will do all our best to save the planet!

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...
